Venezuelan Music Miracle

The orchestra became a powerful magnet attracting young Venezuelans. Music found in the Symphony Youth Orchestra a means to reach other audiences: lower-income youngsters and public in general who have started to enjoy the beauty of a well-performed piece of Tchaikovsky, Mozart and/or Berlioz.

The Venezuelan orchestral phenomenon is deemed a miracle; however, the achievements fulfilled are the result of a constant effort and work ethic. José Antonio Abreu and El Sistema give example of what constant effort and dedication can accomplish.
