The Human Rights Foundation has condemned Gustavo Dudamel for conducting the National Children’s Symphony of Venezuela on August 2, 2024.

The foundation took to social media and said, “Last night, Gustavo Dudamel, the famous Venezuelan conductor, gave a concert directing the Maduro regime’s top youth orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York City. HRF was present as well, to remind the world of Maduro’s fraud and to call out Dudamel for engaging in shameless propaganda and providing cover for the Venezuelan dictator.”

This is the latest condemnation that Dudamel is receiving following his silence after the Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro claimed victory in the Venezuelan elections.

Recently pianist Gabriela Montero spoke out against Dudamel stating, “A regime that has destroyed our country and is stealing yet another election will send its most effective propaganda machine – children – to America’s most illustrious halls under Dudamel’s baton, and no fellow musician among my friends joins me to condemn it.”

Dudamel has remained silent regarding the Venezuelan election results that declared Maduro as the winner, which the United States, among many other countries, has recognized as fraudulent.
