New York Philharmonic Ends Dudamel's Welcome with Six-City European Tour
The New York Philharmonic, under Gustavo Dudamel, closed an extravagant welcome for him with performances in six European cities during a 17-day tour in October.
Performances in six European cities were the capstone of an extravagant welcome to Gustavo Dudamel from the New York Philharmonic. The tour took place in October and lasted 17 days in four countries, with 10 performances.
The tour involved 147 people, including musicians, backup conductors, sound technicians, librarians, stagehands, donors, executives and a tour doctor. The Philharmonic described the tour as a multimillion-dollar endeavor.
The tour was the orchestra's first full-scale European tour in nearly 10 years and took place barely a month after Dudamel took over. Dudamel described a European tour as one of his early priorities.
Matías Tarnopolsky, president and chief executive of the Philharmonic, said international touring is an essential element for the level the orchestra aspires to. Adam Nagourney followed the orchestra to Paris, Barcelona and Madrid, attending five concerts and five rehearsals.
