The concert had been advertised “Con Dudamel por la Paz” (With Dudamel for Peace), and this Eighth was the country’s star conductor showing what was possible if everyone worked together. After that, had he been on the ticket, Dudamel would have been elected. I’m willing to bet the current Venezuelan talks in Oslo would go much better were the government to get over its anger with Dudamel and both sides take a break and watch the remarkable video of that performance together.
