Maestro Dudamel takes virtual reality Symphony on tour

Orchestra conductor Gustavo Dudamel wants to see a new sense of tolerance in the world and believes music can lead the way.

"Music has an essential role to play in the healing of the spirit of humankind, which is so shaken at this time of pandemic and other circumstances that divide us," he tells the BBC.

The Venezuelan's latest project is a virtual reality film, Symphony, which aims to take participants to the beating heart of music and sound through technology, remarkable visuals and the genius of Beethoven, Mahler and Bernstein. And it has just premiered in Madrid.
