The outgoing music director has added his parent to the lineup of his farewell gala.
From the press release:
Acclaimed Venezuelan trombonist Oscar Dudamel – father of world-renowned conductor Gustavo Dudamel – perform a bold fusion of salsa, bolero, and classical music from his debut studio album, Sueño Alcanzado (“Dream Fulfilled”), at the gala afterparty. Produced in Caracas and released on the Platoon label, the album is dedicated to Gustavo, who, as a child, dreamed of playing salsa music like his father.
The title track, “Sueño Alcanzado,” is both the emotional centerpiece and narrative foundation of the album. Co-written with Maestro Alberto Crespo (arranger), Eliel Rivero (composer), and Solange Ramírez (voice teacher) —the mother of his son, Gustavo Dudamel—the song features a special guest appearance by the acclaimed conductor himself. Maestro Dudamel’s performance on violin completes a deeply personal and artistic journey that has unfolded over decades. Sueño Alcanzado is more than an album—it’s a musical journey through generations, genres and dreams fulfilled.
