Dudamel concerts to air on radio

Anyone shut out of Gustavo Dudamel’s upcoming concerts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall will be able to tune to KUSC-FM (91.5) for relief. The classical music radio station will broadcast the programs led by the Philharmonic’s music director-designate Sunday and April 6, both beginning at 2 p.m.

This Sunday’s concert will include Esa-Pekka Salonen’s “Insomnia,” Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with soloist Simon Trpceski and Berlioz’s “Symphonie Fantastique.” The April 6 program will feature Debussy’s “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,” Bartok’s Violin Concerto No. 2 with soloist Leila Josefowicz and Ravel’s “Daphnis and Chloe.”

Dudamel will become the Philharmonic’s music director in fall 2009.
