Gustavo Dudamel — the Oscar L. Tang and H.M.

Dudamel also conducts Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite and a new work by Pulitzer Prize winner Ellen Reid.

Gustavo Dudamel — the Oscar L. Tang and H.M. Agnes Hsu-Tang Music and Artistic Director Designate — conducts the World Premiere of the wealth of nations, a highly anticipated commission from the Pulitzer Prize–winning composer David Lang. Inspired by economist Adam Smith’s 1776 magnum opus, Lang dramatizes this foundational work about economics as inspired by Handel’s treatment of Biblical texts in Messiah. "I want this work to be enjoyable and thought-provoking," says Lang, "encouraging audiences to consider what we truly value."
