Gustavo Dudamel, Music Director of the LA Philharmonic said:

"I'm delighted to be conducting The Colburn Orchestra. These young artists at Colburn have great energy and, with credit to their teachers, a wonderful level of professionalism. It is a plus to the Los Angeles community to have this special Conservatory as our LA Philharmonic neighbors."

Sel Kardan, President and CEO of the Colburn School said:

"The Colburn School is honored to have Maestro Dudamel lead our conservatory orchestra in Disney Hall. The collaboration further strengthens our long-standing relationship with our neighbors The Los Angeles Philharmonic and will prove to be a memorable experience for our gifted young artists."
