The Maestro and The Music
At the center of this historic collaboration is the incredible Gustavo Dudamel. Originally from Venezuela, Dudamel is making history as the first Latino Music Director with the New York Philharmonic.

The evening is designed to take you on a musical journey. This will be a breathtaking program of Latin inspired works from across the Americas featuring the three time Grammy winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra. The combination of the NY Phil’s grandeur and the electric stage presence of the SHO is going to be nothing short of spectacular.
