Gustavo Dudamel adopts the sphinx position

Gustavo Dudamel adopts the sphinx position

Following two excoriating articles in the UK press ahead of two concerts with the Venezuela regime’s propaganda orchestra, the conductor has been advised to respond on social media. Here’s what he says:

Todo lo que hoy soy, se lo debo a @elsistema y al Maestro Abreu. Me dieron la posibilidad de aprender y llegar a ser el músico que soy. Es por eso que siempre trabajaré para compartir esta oportunidad con las próximas generaciones. Tocar, Cantar y Luchar.

 

He is in de-Nile, in deep denial that Abreu was anything other than a saint and that el Sistema is flawless, when there is evidence that both acted as window-dressing for a brutal military regime and Sistema is riddled with child-rape.

Dudamel  will face a tougher examination next year when he becomes music director of the NY Philharmonic.
