DANZÓN! Waldbühne 2025

A Latin-American Night with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Gustavo Dudamel and Ryan Speedo Green: Live recording 28 June 2025, 20:15.

The Berliner Philharmoniker, Gustavo Dudamel and Ryan Speedo Green welcome the audience to a Latin American night at the Waldbühne in Berlin as the end-of-season concert 2025.

Dudamel celebrated his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker at the Waldbühne back in 2008 under the motto Los ritmos de la noche, followed by A Midsummer Night in 2014 and Legends of the Rhine in 2017. For the fourth time they appear at one of the most appealing outdoor venues in Europe, and perform rousing dances from Bernstein’s musical West Side Story, in which Latin American sounds and rhythms are all-pervasive. Danzón!
