I Love To Travel, But Sometimes It's

When People Feel That Something Really Special Is Happening On The Stage, Things Change.

Recently, I Went To A Disco With Friends, And All The Young People Were Saying, 'dudamel, We Want To Go To Your Concert, But It's Impossible Because It's Sold Out.' It's Really Amazing.

For Me To Rehearse With A Children's Orchestra A Mahler Symphony Was To Really Work. We Had Three Or Four Weeks Of Rehearsal With The Orchestra, Every Day Eight Or Nine Hours, Putting The First Together. I Had Been Conducting Tchaikovsky A Lot And Beethoven, But Mahler Was Different.

Whenever I Listen To A Children's Orchestra, I Learn. They Feel Everything, They Enjoy Everything, They Have Amazing Energy.

I Wanted To Play My Violin And Have My Musical Expression Through The Instrument. But Then I Was Really Young When I Had My First Opportunity To Conduct.
