Last week, the Atlanta Music Project was invited to participate in an international orchestra festival, led by none other than Gustavo Dudamel, the 37-year-old Venezuelan hotshot conductor.

The trip to Mexico City marked the first time the AMP students had performed — or even traveled — abroad.

They performed in a special orchestra concert alongside 300 young musicians from around the Americas. Fresh from their landmark trip, AMP executive director and co-founder Dantes Rameau and 14-year-old violinist Donovan Fuller joined Lois Reitzes on “City Lights” to talk about their experience.
