Yesterday, a friend told me about the New York debut of Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela at Carnegie Hall November 11 and 12. I am ashamed to say I never heard of Dudamel so I did a little research and I am fascinated by him. Dudamel is a classical music conductor and the brightest young star to shine in years. The 26 year old Venezuelan hottie (ladies, he's married) will be the Los Angeles Philarmonic's next music director as of the 2009-2010 season.
His conducting is described as electric, breathtaking, passionate and he is referred to as classical music's rockstar. The Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra is made up of over 200 kids between the ages of 14 and 24 and they are supposed to be incredible and play with great passion. At the risk of writing another platitude, it's so exciting to see young, fresh talent be rewarded. Here is a link to a great New York Times article on Dudamel.
