Even in the confines of a panel discussion, Gustavo Dudamel radiates so much passion and ebullience that it requires little imagination to see him at the podium with a baton in hand. MIT’s 2010 McDermott Award in the Arts winner is, at the tender age of 29, one of the world’s top conductors and music disseminators.
In conversation with two MIT music luminaries, and moderator Maria Hinojosa, Dudamel describes the remarkable music education system in Venezuela that set him on his path, and that continues to inspire his work in the U.S. and around the world.
"When El Sistema gave me an instrument, for me it was the best moment in my life, oh my God! Now I have a world, an opportunity to build something in my life.”
--Gustavo Dudamel
