A maestro mano a mano

I heard (probably on NPR) a profile about the new music director of the LA Philharmonic, Gustavo Dudamel. An amazing story. It makes it clear how poverty stricken our arts education is.

This LA Times article compares Dudamel and Alan Gilbert, the new music director of the NY Philharmonic. (I’m way behind the curve here: I have no idea who Gilbert is.)
