At the NY Phil in Geffen Hall, a few nights ago: Dudamel conducted the "Eroica" (horns very much in the forefront here - perhaps more so than would be expected?), and the world premiere of the orchestration - by 18 individual composers of 24 of the 36 variations in Frederic Rzewski's variations (for piano) on the Chilean protest anthem "¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!" (The people united will never be defeated).
