The 28-year-old Venezuelan conductor was welcomed with a free community concert entitled "¡Bienvenido Gustavo!" LA Phil has partnered for the last eight years with KUSC to broadcast some of its concerts on the classical music station.

If you love classical music but can't make it out to the Hollywood Bowl this season to see the Los Angeles Philharmonic perform live, you're in luck.
KUSC (91.5 FM in L.A.) will be broadcasting the concerts every Sunday night through mid-October, and they'll make the recordings available for online streaming for up to a week.
The broadcasts will be pre-recorded from select Tuesday and Thursday concerts, according to KUSC. It's the eighth time the LA Phil has partnered with KUSC to bring the concerts to a local radio audience.
The lineup this year includes conductors Gustavo Dudamel and Esa-Pekka Salonen, pianist Yuja Wang and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

The concerts will be broadcast Sundays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
