It’s a family affair at Lincoln Center when the acclaimed Venezuelan trombonist and bandleader Oscar Dudamel—father of the New York Philharmonic’s Music & Artistic Director, Gustavo Dudamel—takes the stage with his Orchestra for a free concert and social dance event at the David Rubenstein Atrium. A musical prodigy, Oscar Dudamel was enraptured in his youth by the magic of salsa when he first heard the sounds of Willie Colón. Dudamel received classical training within his hometown’s highly regarded El Sistema Music Education program and went on to play in classical orchestras, but his fascination with the Caribbean rhythms of salsa never left him. His Caracas-based salsa orchestra has shared the stage with Rubén Blades, Hector Lavoe, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Luis Enrique, and many others. Dudamel’s headlining, full-band Lincoln Center premiere celebrates the release of the artist’s new album Sueño Alcanzado.
