LA Phil LIVE’s
second performance of the season,

LA
Phil LIVE: Dudamel conducts Mahler 8, “Symphony of a Thousand,”



on Saturday, February 18 at 2 p.m. Pacific / 5 p.m. Eastern will
offer a never-before-seen live broadcast from Caracas, Venezuela,
featuring Dudamel leading the two organizations that have been so
prominent in his life, the LA Phil and the Simón Bolívar Symphony
Orchestra of Venezuela in a dynamic performance of Gustav Mahler’s
Symphony No. 8, “Symphony of a Thousand.” The live broadcast will be
hosted by award-winning actor John Lithgow, who hosted his first

LA
Phil LIVE

performance in June 2011. Multiple soloists and
choruses will also be part of the performance. This exceptional
presentation is the climactic performance of
The Mahler Project
one of the pillars of the LA Phil’s season – which features Mahler’s
complete symphonic cycle presented in both Los Angeles and Caracas.

“This is a special moment for me, especially since the Los Angeles
Philharmonic coming to Venezuela is a beautiful homage to El Sistema,”
said Dudamel. “Bringing one of the world’s best orchestras together with
the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, a symbol of El
Sistema, sends a message of hope for the musical youth of the country.
Playing the Mahler 8th Symphony together will be historic.”
