DESCRIPTION:Jun 5-7\, 2026\nGustavo Dudamel\, a specialist? Anything but. F
 or all the energy he pours into the music of our own time\, he has\, throu
 ghout his tenure as music and artistic director of the LAPhil\, claimed th
 e whole Western symphonic canon as his province. But while “Western\,”
  in that sense\, means 19th-century and Eurocentric\, his farewell program
  focuses on 20th-century classics from the Western hemisphere. Two splashy
  choral frescoes share the bill\, each a tour de force for singers and ins
 trumentalists alike. In Harmonium (1981)\, John Adams lends ecstatic voice
  to Donne’s brain twister “Negative Love” and Emily Dickinson’s to
 p hits “Because I could not stop for Death” and “Wild Nights.” In 
 Cantata Criolla (1954)\, Dudamel’s Venezuelan compatriot Antonio Estéve
 z conjures up a singing contest between the devil and a cowpoke named Fior
 entino. The text is by the lawyer\, educator\, and hugely popular folk poe
 t Alberto Arvelo Torrealba. By contrast\, the antagonists’ signature tun
 es derive from Gregorian chant—for Fiorentino (Anthony León\, tenor)\, 
 it’s Ave maris stella\, a hymn to the Virgin\; for the devil (Gustavo Ca
 stillo)\, it’s the Dies Irae\, that harrowing preview of the Last Judgme
 nt. The Los Angeles Master Chorale (Grant Gershon\, artistic director) sha
 res top billing.
