Gustavo Dudamel arrives at New York Philharmonic with Latin American celebration
Venezuela-born conductor Gustavo Dudamel arrived at the New York Philharmonic on Wednesday night for a program celebrating his home continent.
Evening began with Venezuelan bites
Guests gathered on Lincoln Center's plaza to enjoy an arepa bar before the performance. The event featured rows of chairs facing the square's spectacular fountain as the sun set.
Musicians performed while stars mingled
Bands Los Hacheros and Flor de Toloache played music during the balmy September night evening. Celebrities including Carolina Herrera, Bernadette Peters, and Fiona Shaw moved around the plaza area.
Dinner followed the concert performance
The occasion concluded with a traditional three-course dinner held in the hall's Grand Promenade. This meal took place after the main program ended for the evening guests.
