Viva El Systema
Friday, April 20, 2007
The Venezuelan government's youth orchestra program is considered by many to be the most successful music education project in the world. "El Systema" operates hundreds of orchestras in most of the country's towns and villages. (One alumnus: Gustavo Dudamel, the next musical director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.) Today we talk to Nestor Lopez Duran, producer of a new documentary about the project called Tocar y Luchar (To Live and To Fight).
