Bonus TEDtalk tonight! Gustavo Dudamel conducts the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra

Led here by Gustavo Dudamel, the orchestra plays Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10, 2nd movement, and Arturo Márquez' Danzón No. 2. (Recorded February 2009 in Caracas, Venezuela, and Long Beach, California. Duration: 17:06.)
