Gustavo Dudamel, the celebrated conductor and music and artistic director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, has announced that he will leave the L.A. Phil for the New York Philharmonic at the conclusion of his contract in 2026.
In 2026 Dudamel will have been the L.A. Phil’s music director for 17 years. He was first appointed in 2009. Dudamel told The Times that he’ll turn 45 in 2026 and that he believes it will be a moment for a new challenge.
Dudamel’s move is not only a loss for the orchestra, regarded as the most important in the United States, but also for the city of Los Angeles. The superstar became an emblem of the Latino community’s power and prominence, and he has been pivotal to Los Angeles’ rise as a cultural capital. Additionally, his extensive work with Youth Orchestra Los Angeles’ programs have been a game-changing force for young conductors in the region.
