What a special experience, a free concert on the beach in Barcelona with the orchestra from the Gran Liceu, directed by one of the world’s top composers Gustavo Dudamel. And the music recognized by all, across decades of composer and conductor John Williams’s work, from E.T. to Schindler’s List to Jurassic Park and more.

#Music has been getting me through a lot this week. It’s been terrific therapy, inspiration and solace. Had chills up my spine with this performance of #Mahler 5 by #BerlinPhil #Dudamel, particularly that wonderful scherzo, which seems to contain the joy, sorrow and horrors of the whole world, conjured by the magisterial horn playing of #StefanDohr

And then there were two encores. Frankly I don't think Mahler needs an encore. But hey, the band let their hair down and let rip. I couldn't hear what the first encore was, but it was fun. The second was Bernstein's Mambo from West Side Story. The orchestra's go-to encore. The audience was clapping and the orchestra was dancing, literally. Great fun!

A very beloved Maestro! Cheered when he first appeared on stage as the concert was about to start. Followed by a triumph of epic dimensions at the end of the performance.
New York welcomes @GustavoDudamel!!!!

Dudamel, a charismatic 42-year-old conductor, will take up the Philharmonic’s podium in 2026, in a major coup for the orchestra. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/07/arts/music/new-york-philharmonic-gustavo-dudamel.html #music #art #dudamel #newyork
