This dynamic man just extended his contract with the LA Philharmonic and everyone in SoCal rejoiced. We are blessed!

[@troywilliamson9524]

Oof. Welp

[@kitbirskovich1838]

A beautiful musician. I saw him conduct Mahler in San Fran. and it was magnificent. Several times he was air bound, with both feet off the podium. He takes his bows standing among the orchestra members, not from the conductor's podium. He has inspired many parts of our country with "Il Systema" type music programs. Grateful to him!

God blessed this man. He is super super man. He has the moves of the divine in him.
God bless Gustave Dudamel. He is so unique there will be no other like him.

Gustavo Dudamel, direttore musicale della Filarmonica di Los Angeles, è la genialità del mondo classico attuale , incontra giovani musicisti nelle scuole e nei college di tutto il paese e in tutto il mondo. Grande divulgatore del sublime e del potere di trasformazione della musica e condivide la sua inarrestabile emotività in performance che trasmettono la necessità di rendere l'arte parte della tua vita

Dios , es un extraordinario director. Amo su sencillez!

Que orgullo para Venezuela en tener al mejor Director Joven del Mundo, digno representante del talento latinoamericano, es una pequeña y grande muestra a la vez de lo que puede salir de este Continente mágico y maravilloso.

Inspiring story

[@wpuck]

Can someone help me identify the piece being played from 2:05 until about 2:15. I know I have heard it, but am blank on its name and composer. Thank you!

[@beatmydrum]

That’s the finale of Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. In that clip it’s being performed by the L.A. Phil at what looks like the Hollywood Bowl.

[@wpuck]

@@beatmydrum Thank you very much! I appreciate your assistance. I played the piece tonight and you are completely correct.!

[@KentoSky]

This is very inspiring>

[@farydeneme4716]

El color blanco le va muy bien. Luce súper elegante!

[@JoePastorgomez]

Dudamel is da Man

[@ericandsarahsmom1000]

His nickname here in Los Angeles is "The Dude."

[@artespinturaanaestrela2607]

[@gabrielaschumann5942]

Ich wünschte, ich würde diesen Menschen mal kennen lernen - er fliegt, und ich möchte mitfliegen...........

[@siennavanlife9502]

We need a million more Gustavo Dudamels and one less Putin.

[@zenopiombo5894]

you know

[@sme7385]

Just wanted to ad that he looks like he has carpal tunnel syndrom or arthritis in his right hand from overuse or abuse of movement. I, too, have this from court reporting and I KNOW how much pain he is in. OUCH!

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Todo para gringos.

[@ivonneosorio8204]

Usted no tiene idea de lo que el está haciendo por los niños y jóvenes en USA y en el resto del planeta. El es un embajador de El Sistema.

[@huntergreen1988]

Love him.
