Gustavo Dudamel: New York is a new chapter, Los Angeles is home

Gustavo Dudamel says of the LA Philharmonic: “It is my orchestra. And it will be my orchestra even if there’s another conductor taking over in the next years. It will be always a family. And I think you never leave home. … Maybe physically, you are not as present, but home is home. And I think Los Angeles, for me, is home.”
