According to Dudamel, Maestro Abreu assigned him to conduct Mahler with the SBYOV. Dudamel studied and studied and filled the score with his notes. On the day of the performance,Dudamel showed Abreu all his notes.Abreu said, very good.On the day of the performance, Abreau took away the Mahler score, and told Gustavo, you don't need a score, you already know it.He was right.
Gustavo Dudamel conducted all of Mahler's ten symphonies from memory, either the score in the head or head in the score.

@padredemishijos12 One of my conducting teachers once told me "Know your score so well you don't need the score, but never be a fool and walk on stage without one." Now I'm no Gilbert or Dudamel, but I think it's kind of a personal thing. Some conductors use them, some don't :-)

Why does he use a score? Is it not supposed to be memorized? In Venezuela you cannot conduct unless you have memorized the score. I have rarely seen Gustavo Dudamel with a score. The score is in his head, and his eyes in on the musicians in the orchestra.

Wonderful video. I've always wondered how he liked working with his mom. That's a unique challenge for some. LoL

It's a real shame that he's the best they could find - but then again, I have never been a big fan of his band either.....
This was really well put together. Hopefully I can join the New York Philharmonic someday!
