About the conductor Gustavo Dudamel

Born on 26 January 1981 in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, Gustavo Dudamel was ten when he took up the violin, and soon was also studying composition. In 1996, he began his conducting studies with Rodolfo Saglimbeni and during the same year was named Music Director of the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra. In 1999, he continued his conducting studies with José Antonio Abreu and was appointed Music Director of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela (SBYOV), an ensemble founded by Abreu that is widely recognized for its role in transforming the lives of tens of thousands of impoverished youths. Gustavo Dudamel is also in great demand as a guest conductor and has worked with the world’s most renowned orchestras and musicians. He is currently Principal Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, has been appointed Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, effective 2009/10, and is Music Director of the SBYOV. In May 2007, Dudamel was awarded the Premio de la Latindad by the 37 Latin American, European and African member states of the Unión Latina for his outstanding contributions to Latin cultural life.
