  About this Performance

  For 17 years, the musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic have been close collaborators with Gustavo Dudamel in countless performances. To celebrate Gustavo’s tenure as Music & Artistic Director, principal musicians of the LA Phil take center stage for an evening of symphonic favorites.

  Rossini’s rousing William Tell Overture sets the evening in motion at full steam ahead, a nod to the adventurous, artistic heights the orchestra has scaled with Dudamel. Then comes a range of “classic” showpieces for bassoon, oboe, horn, flute, violin, piano, cello, and harp.

  After intermission, all eyes and ears are on percussion, clarinet, trombone, bass, and trumpet during a showcase of contemporary music. The program’s final works are world-premiere pieces by two dear friends of the LA Phil, John Williams and Gabriela Ortiz. Williams’ Bravo Gustavo! takes its name from the commemoration of Dudamel’s first 10 years with the LA Phil, highlighting the valiant energy of the trumpet section, while Ortiz’s Mujer Arena celebrates the entire ensemble.
