The young musicians are never indifferent. They keep music alive. Music-making produces happiness, and they aren't afraid to show it.
Dudamel had arranged for the orchestra, whose members are 10 to 17, to begin a U.S. tour at Walt Disney Concert Hall. It was an outright lovefest.
The concert was free. The audience was full of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles students and kids from nearly every state participating in an international festival.
Shostakovich's Fifth was extraordinary. The players knew the score so well, their eyes remained glued on Dudamel. Their bodies seemed glued together.
