Program: Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, “Pastoral”; Thomas Adès: Inferno – Part 1 of Dante Performers: Los Angeles Philharmonic; Gustavo Dudamel (conductor) Noted for its blissful introduction, birdsong via woodwinds, and rumbling thunder of cellos, Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony embodies the calming charm of the countryside. In a letter to one of his beloved pupils, he wrote, “How happy I am to be able to wander among the bushes and grass, under trees and over rocks, no man can love the country as I love it.” Gustavo Dudamel captures the serenity of the symphony before steering the orchestra into the treacherous depths of Thomas Adès’ Inferno —the fiery first part of the work that won the LA Phil a Grammy for Best Orchestral Performance. Within minutes of hearing the music, “You can feel the lightning bolt of [Adès’] virtuosity, the sense of pure enjoyment as he uses every orchestral resource to create a battery of exhilarating sound from a 75-strong orchestra” ( The Guardian ).

Program: Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92; Gabriela Ortiz: Revolución diamantina Performers: Los Angeles Philharmonic; Gustavo Dudamel (conductor); Los Angeles Master Chorale (Choir) Revolución diamantina is Gabriela Ortiz’s bold response to the 2019 feminist uprising around Mexico’s epidemic of violence against women. Named after an event where protesters threw pink glitter at Mexico City’s chief of police to denounce the rape of a woman by local officers, “Ortiz’s atmospheric, percussion-rich score fizzes with a sense of restless unease” ( BBC Music Magazine ). Gustavo Dudamel says, “Gabriela Ortiz’s music speaks to both the body and the spirit, full of visceral primeval rhythms and mysterious, soulful sound-worlds.” As a testament to their amazing partnership, Dudamel revisits the Grammy-winning Revolución diamantina . To kick off the program, Dudamel channels the ecstatic, whirling energy of Beethoven’s Seventh, described by the composer himself as his “most excellent symphony.” Its introduction simmers and builds with sweet woodwind phrases between booming string chords, eventually soaring ahead to a prancing finale with joyful mania.
