Gustavo Dudamel

Hall of Famer

I figured this title might either make people get befuddled or move on. I am hoping a few people take a peek.

I am a musician. First and last, music is my passion. I used to be good. I taught. I wrote.

In Venezuela there is a 30+ year program concerning music especially to give some hope to the 60% impoverished people and their kids. It started with one teacher and 11 students. It now consists of 15,000 teachers and 250,000 students. Out of this fairly large herd has come the next great conductor. That isn't the point of this note as at least take a listen to a song many people know and watch the joy on the faces of the people playing it.


If Dudamel gave me a call, I'd simply ask "where and when?"
