Congratulations Maestro Dudamel!! We have heard you with our Philharmonic in Israel and were thrilled by you. May you have a very successful career with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, of which I have fond memories and please return to Israel when you can.
Best of all wishes to you,

The radio broadcast was astounding, you guys!
A tremendous public service.
Check out the LA Times review and comments. Many people
heard the Beethoven 9th on the radio.
Thank you KUSC

We may just have heard the stirrings of a resurrection in classical music listening with this performance of Maestro Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Most classical music concert-goers these days appear to be ‘well-seasoned’ (this writer included), with the blue-haired and bald-headed quite in evidence. But Maestro Dudamel is working his youthful magic here, as he did in Venezuela - making classic music accessible to a much broader swath of society - and it was wonderfully encouraging to hear the result: a young and enthusiastic audience during the KUSC-FM broadcast of Beethoven’s Ninth from the Hollywood Bowl.
This reception bodes incredibly well for Maestro Dudamel, the Philharmonic, KUSC, and indeed for the whole of classical music in Southern California. ¡Bienvenido Gustavo, un buen trabajo del día!
