Description:
What would you give to be present at a great historic moment? What would it be worth to you to look over Ulysses Grant’s shoulder at Appomattox Court House as he signs the paper ending the Civil War; or to be out in that Boston thunderstorm (if it actually happened) with Ben Franklin and his kite? Well, you're about to hear history being made. A concert at which the Los Angeles Philharmonic and its music director were so dazzled by a 26-year-old guest conductor that they named him – Gustavo Dudamel – their next leader.
