In his final month as Music & Artistic Director, Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic embarked on an exciting tour across the United Kingdom, marking the orchestra’s first BBC Proms appearance since 2002 and its return to the Edinburgh International Festival after seven years. In both cities, the orchestra performed Beethoven’s Sixth and Seventh Symphonies, Gabriela Ortiz’s Revolución diamantina with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and Thomas Adès’ Inferno from Dante. While in London, members of the orchestra also took part in a special engagement at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.

And in Edinburgh, Dudamel led musicians from YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) and Scotland’s Big Noise, a music education and social change program for children and families, in a concert featuring Beethoven’s Ode to Joy and Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2.
