Product Description
'El Sistema' shows how Venezuelan visionary Jose Antonio Abreu has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of children over the past three decades. Paul Smaczny and Maria Stodtmeier's film finds hope and joy in unlikely places. Children from streets dominated by the gun battles of gang warfare are taken into music schools, given access to music, and taught through the model of the symphony orchestra how to build a better society. This lyrical and moving documentary takes us from the rubbish dumps and barrios of Caracas to the world's finest concert halls. 'I have nothing but admiration for Jose Antonio Abreau's commitment (in both a cultural and a social context). What he has achieved with El Sistema and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra is simply unique in the world.' -- Claudio Abbado 'The future of classical music lies in Venezuela.' -- Sir Simon Rattle Venezuela's unique system of music education takes children from violent slums and turns some of them into world-class musicians. A film by Paul Smaczny and Maria Stodtmeier.
