DUDAMEL: Let the Children Play!

Can’t make it to Los Angeles to see Gustavo Dudamel in person? Experience DUDAMEL: Let the Children Play in movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, June 23. Captured in seven different countries, this event provides a glimpse into the world of orchestras, conducting, and the importance of music as a hopeful path to face the educational crisis worldwide.

Inspired by El Sistema, the Venezuelan musical and educational program which immerses children in the world of music, art, teamwork, discipline, creativity and high values, Gustavo Dudamel brings us on a journey through the stories of some of the young lives who have been touched by the joys of music.

The two-hour event will also include Crescendo: Why Music is Life, a 20-minute CNN en Español production that chronicles the importance of music in children’s lives and explores the role of music in society. Well-known Latin singers, musicians and CNN en Español anchors – including Emilio Estefan, Daisy Fuentes, Lady Gaga, Luis Enrique and more – share insights about their enduring relationship with music, from their earliest memories to the impact it continues to have on their lives today.
