Gustavo Dudamel

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL, artistic director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, spotlights four Beethoven masterworks at Walt Disney Concert Hall in as many weeks. Programs Feb. 12-15 present an adaptation by playwright Jeremy O. Harris of Beethoven’s Egmont with Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett as narrator. 

They begin with the world premiere of Ricardo Lorenz’s Humboldt’s Nature, inspired by Beethoven contemporary Alexander von Humboldt; Yunchan Lim is soloist in Schumann’s Piano Concerto. Feb. 20-22, Dudamel leads the composer’s monumental Missa Solemnis with soprano Pretty Yende, mezzo-soprano Sarah Saturnino, tenor SeokJong Baek, bass Nicholas Brownlee and two choirs, Orfeó Català and Cor de Cambra del Palau de la Música Catalana. Beethoven’s Symphonies No. 7 and 6 (“Pastoral”) are featured at concerts Feb. 26-Mar. 1 and Mar. 5-8, respectively.
