All shall have prizes? Not Dudamel, surely…

All shall have prizes? Not Dudamel, surely…

The Glenn Gould Foundation is to award its 14th annual Glenn Gould Prize to the conductor Gustavo Dudamel at Carnegie Hall on August 2.

According to the press release: ‘the presentation coincides with Carnegie Hall’s World Orchestra Week (WOW!), a celebration of extraordinary youth ensembles from around the globe. On this day, Dudamel will conduct the National Children’s Symphony of Venezuela.

Some mistake, surely?

Giving an award to the envoy of a notorious militarist regime that has just stolen an election seems … inadvisable.

The Gould people need to have a quick rethink.
