About the event
Event Overview From May 6 to May 8, 2026, Wu Tsai Theater at David Geffen Hall becomes the stage for a one-of-a-kind musical celebration that bridges worlds. The New York Philharmonic, under the exhilarating baton of Gustavo Dudamel, joins forces with the legendary Spanish Harlem Orchestra, a three-time Grammy-winning ensemble known for setting stages ablaze with unapologetic Latin energy.
This unprecedented collaboration delivers an unforgettable cultural experience where the refinement of symphonic sound meets the irresistible pulse of salsa dura. Expect explosive rhythms, masterful arrangements, and an all-out celebration of musical heritage and community.
The program — still to be announced — promises to showcase bold fusions and exhilarating new dimensions, uniting classical and Latin jazz in a way that only New York City could host. With Oscar Hernández leading the SHO and Dudamel’s magnetic presence, this event is much more than a concert — it’s a symphonic fiesta.
