This is exciting

I was glad to see this article on the LA Phil's new conductor, Gustavo Dudamel, conducting the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles. Anything that makes kids more excited about music can only be good for our city and to give them access to someone like this along with the instruments, rehearsal space, etc. has the potential to take their musical pursuits to a whole other level. Let's hope the funding stays intact.
