In Concert at the Hollywood Bowl

[MUSIC PLAYING] GUSTAVO DUDAMEL: WHETHER IT IS VISIONARY MEXICAN ROCK... [MAN SINGING IN SPANISH] GUSTAVO: OR SYMPHONIC AMERICANA... OR COLUMBIAN VALLENATO...

IT IS ALL MUSIC OF THE AMERICAS.

JOIN ME IN CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.

[CHEERING] GUSTAVO: HERE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, MUSIC HAS NO BOUNDARIES.

THE BOWL IS WHERE MUSIC BELONGS TO ALL OF US.

WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS, EVERYONE IS RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG.

I AM GUSTAVO DUDAMEL, MUSIC AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC.

TODAY, I INVITE YOU TO JOIN ME AT MY SUMMER HOME--THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.

[CROWD CHEERING] ONE OF MY FIRST FESTIVALS AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL WAS CALLED "AMERICAS AND AMERICANS."

IT FEATURED ARTISTS FROM BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA.

I WANTED TO BRING THESE ARTISTS TOGETHER BECAUSE, WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC, THERE ARE NO BORDERS.

IN THE PROGRAM YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE, I WANTED TO SHARE A PERFORMANCE THAT BRINGS THE AMERICAS TOGETHER IN UNEXPECTED WAYS.

WE START WITH AARON COPLAND'S "LINCOLN PORTRAIT."

WHILE WE THINK OF COPLAND AS A NORTH AMERICAN ARTIST, HE WAS GREATLY INFLUENCED BY ARGENTINEAN, BRAZILIAN, AND ESPECIALLY MEXICAN MUSIC.

WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS MY FIRST TIME CONDUCTING THE PIECE.

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE DODGERS' LEGENDARY SPORTSCASTER VIN SCULLY PERFORMING WITH ME THAT NIGHT.

THE PIECE DRAWS FROM LINCOLN'S SPEECHES.

THEY WERE INSPIRING WHEN THEY WERE WRITTEN, AND THEY ARE EVEN MORE INSPIRING NOW.

PLEASE ENJOY MY FIRST "LINCOLN PORTRAIT" WITH THE GREAT VIN SCULLY.

[SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [ORCHESTRA MUSIC CONTINUES] [SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [ORCHESTRA MUSIC CONTINUES] [SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [LIGHT, UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING] [SLOW DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [LIGHT, UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING] [FASTER TEMPO] [TEMPO SLOWS] [FASTER TEMPO] [TEMPO SLOWS] VIN: "FELLOW CITIZENS, WE CANNOT ESCAPE HISTORY."

THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

THAT'S WHAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID.

"FELLOW CITIZENS, WE CANNOT ESCAPE HISTORY.

WE OF THIS CONGRESS AND THIS ADMINISTRATION, WILL BE REMEMBERED IN SPITE OF OURSELVES.

NO PERSONAL SIGNIFICANCE, OR INSIGNIFICANCE, CAN SPARE ONE OR ANOTHER OF US.

THE FIERY TRIAL THROUGH WHICH WE PASS, WILL LIGHT US DOWN, IN HONOR OR DISHONOR, TO THE LATEST GENERATION.

WE - EVEN WE HERE - HOLD THE POWER, AND BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY."

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [SLOW, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] HE WAS BORN IN KENTUCKY, RAISED IN INDIANA, AND LIVED IN ILLINOIS.

AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.

THIS IS WHAT ABE LINCOLN SAID.

"THE DOGMAS OF THE QUIET PAST ARE INADEQUATE TO THE STORMY PRESENT.

THE OCCASION IS PILED HIGH WITH DIFFICULTY AND WE MUST RISE WITH THE OCCASION.

AS OUR CASE IS NEW, SO WE MUST THINK ANEW AND ACT ANEW.

WE MUST DISENTHRALL OURSELVES AND THEN WE SHALL SAVE OUR COUNTRY."

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] WHEN STANDING ERECT HE WAS [DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] WHEN STANDING ERECT HE WAS 6'4" TALL, AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.

HE SAID: "IT IS THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN TWO PRINCIPLES, RIGHT AND WRONG, THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.

IT IS THE SAME SPIRIT THAT SAYS 'YOU TOIL AND WORK AND EARN BREAD, AND I'LL EAT IT.'

NO MATTER IN WHAT SHAPE IT COMES, WHETHER FROM THE MOUTH OF A KING WHO SEEKS TO BESTRIDE THE PEOPLE OF HIS OWN NATION, AND LIVE BY THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR, OR FROM ONE RACE OF MEN AS AN APOLOGY FOR ENSLAVING ANOTHER RACE, IT IS THE SAME TYRANNICAL PRINCIPLE."

[LOUD DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [SOFT, QUIET MUSIC PLAYING] [LOUD DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [SOFT, QUIET MUSIC PLAYING] LINCOLN WAS A QUIET MAN.

ABE LINCOLN WAS A QUIET AND A MELANCHOLY MAN.

BUT WHEN HE SPOKE OF DEMOCRACY, THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.

HE SAID: "AS I WOULD NOT BE A SLAVE, SO I WOULD NOT BE A MASTER.

THIS EXPRESSES MY IDEA OF DEMOCRACY.

WHATEVER DIFFERS FROM THIS, TO THE EXTENT OF THE DIFFERENCE, IS NO DEMOCRACY."

[LOUD, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [SOFT, QUIET MUSIC PLAYING] [LOUD, DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING] [SOFT, QUIET MUSIC PLAYING] ABRAHAM LINCOLN, 16th PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES, IS EVERLASTING IN THE MEMORY OF HIS COUNTRYMEN.

STATES, IS EVERLASTING IN THE MEMORY OF HIS COUNTRYMEN.

FOR ON THE BATTLEGROUND AT GETTYSBURG, THIS IS WHAT HE SAID.

HE SAID: "THAT FROM THESE HONORED DEAD WE TAKE INCREASED DEVOTION TO THAT CAUSE FOR WHICH THEY GAVE THE LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION.

THAT WE HERE HIGHLY RESOLVE THAT THESE DEAD SHALL NOT HAVE DIED IN VAIN.

AND THAT THIS NATION UNDER GOD SHALL HAVE A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM AND THAT GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH."

GUSTAVO: OUR NEXT PERFORMANCE COMES FROM MY FRIEND AND FELLOW VENEZUELAN, FLAMENCO DANCER SIUDY GARRIDO.

I ASKED SIUDY TO CREATE AN ORIGINAL CHOREOGRAPHY FOR MANUEL DE FALLA'S "EL AMOUR BRUJO" - ONE OF THE FEW ORCHESTRA PIECES WRITTEN FOR FLAMENCO DANCE.

HERE IS THE L.A. PHIL WITH SIUDY FLAMENCO DANCE THEATER PERFORMING THE "DANZA RITUAL DEL FUEGO" FROM "EL AMOUR BRUJO."

[CONTINUES SPEAKING SPANISH] [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] [CONTINUES SPEAKING SPANISH] [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] GUSTAVO: I GREW UP IN VENEZUELA BUT HAVE FOUND A SECOND HOME HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.

I HAVE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW MUSIC TRANSCENDS BORDERS.

NONE OF THE MUSIC YOU HEARD TONIGHT COMES FROM ANY ONE TRADITION.

AARON COPLAND WAS FASCINATED BY THE DANCE HALLS OF MEXICO.

CAFE TACVBA ARE INDIE ROCKERS.

THE VALLENATO TRADITION CARLOS VIVES BUILT ON BEGAN WITH A WEST AFRICAN DRUM, A GERMAN ACCORDION, AND THE INDIGENOUS COLOMBIAN GUACHARACA.

IN MUSIC AND AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, YOU CAN SEE THE WORLD WITHOUT BORDERS.

FROM MEXICO TO COLOMBIA TO VENEZUELA TO THE UNITED STATES -- WE ARE ALL ONE AMERICA WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME - IN CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.
