My Material Life Is Simple.

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.

My Main Goal, And It's A Big One, Is That Every Child Has A Chance To Get Close To Music - As A Right - That As They Have Access To Food, Health, And Education, They Get The Chance To Have Art And Culture - Especially Music.

With An Orchestra You Are Building Citizens, Better Citizens For The Community.

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

My Relationship With The Philharmonia Orchestra Brought Me Many Times To London And I Will Always Reflect Positively On That Early Period Of Development With Them - Their Patience, Their Warmth, Their Dedication.
