Going to a concert can sometimes be very difficult. It can be a long journey. Theres the ticket prices. But when the music goes to the community – not the community coming to the concert – they say, Wow! I didnt know that this music was so amazing! – Gustavo Dudamel
In my imagination yes, I remember, when I was six years old, I was conducting all this concert in my house. But now its real. – Gustavo Dudamel
Recently, I went to a disco with friends, and all the young people were saying, Dudamel, we want to go to your concert, but its impossible because its sold out. Its really amazing. – Gustavo Dudamel
A friend gave me a CD of the Pathetique Symphony as a Christmas present. I went home, and I put on the CD expecting to listen to Tchaikovsky. But it started ta ta ta taaa. It was too long for me. I didnt understand it at first, but then I fell in love, in love, in love. – Gustavo Dudamel
