This video (made 10+ years ago) interviewed Lenar Ocosta, a kid with knife scars who was 'saved' from the street by being given a clarinet to play in an orchestra. Since this taping, Lenar has gone to Berlin to study pipe organ technology and is now in Caracas and in charge of the great pipe organ in the new concert hall. Music CAN and DOES transform lives. And, with your help, the Foundation to Assist Young Musicians (FAYM) can do its part in doing just that! Please join us and donate today!
I know it gets hard dealing with missinformed step parents, cuz when they step past my anger line it's over, then we gotta go in & i'm only 9mths old, I cant imangine whats thats like depending on people to breed jus so my head can live on stages of life.:-) lil vamps
How much talent is buried in poverty? How many great minds never come to fruition because they are trapped in the cycle of poverty, a cycle they cannot get out of? Not only are musicians buried in the world's slums, but possibly great scientists, writers, or statesmen. What a waste. One man can have a billion dollars and a billion children don't have one dollar. What a waste.
Governments let shantytowns grow out of control, and then give the people music programs in order to build their self esteem, as if the reason the shantytown came into being in the first place was the people's own fault. People everywhere are constantly given the responsibility to lift themselves up, as if it was their doing that they wound up marginalized in the first place.
Only a tiny fraction of anyone in any kind of a "program" is ever going to have their life changed from the program.
que vien mefasina es que uno ahora ve a lenar y no se cree que vivio en el inam buenox el echo es que haora es mi profesor de clarinete y toca muy vien y es el director de la orquesta y me enorgullese el que sea mi profe aunque es duro avese con sus desisiones es bueno y toca genial y quieiera algundia tocar como toca mi profe genial atenta mente (((wildred polanco)))
La obra del maestro Abreu, se inicia hace 33 años, cuando Chàvez ni siquiuera pensaba en llegar a ser presindente.. Esta revolucion cultural tiene un nombre y se llama JOSE ANTONIO ABREU.. ojala un politico venezolana tuviera un minimo de sensible como la del maestro ABREU.. serìamos una potencia.. dejn la politica a un lado nada tiene que ver por DIOS
Terminen de mezclar a Chàvez en esto que nada tiene que ver es el Dr. Jose Antonio Abreu.. para su informacion Chavez cuando entro al poder quizo bloquear el dinero a la orquesta luego cuando empezo a sentirse los exitos de la orquesta a nivel mundial .. cambio de idea.. No es el demente de Chavez que les quede claro es:JOSE ANTONIO ABREU... y no tiene tintes politicos, esto es cultura o mejor dicho una real revolucion la obra del maestro ABREU
This video is aight, Yall need to check on this new independent artist named Vthov. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" and youll see what I mean. Fiyah.
orgulloso de ser venezolano tenemos el mejor programa de orquestas del planeta tierra pero al mismo tiempo tenemos el peor govierno para darle curso a esos programas... todo lo que tocan lo politizan Dios bendiga El Sistema fuera de la mano politica de este govierno
i actually met one of the facillitators of this program.. It absolutely amazing.. I know that there are programs like el sistema in other countries.. I think we need one here in the US too, it would give children something to do, in order to cut down violence.. I am a musician myself. I think that it is nothing other than good, and i am glad to see that people are encouraging it to for in NYC, where the arts funds are being cut... I'm glad to see something is being done. Good Job!
This is wonderful! Excellent and inspiring, especially for those who work in juvenile justice and youth development. There is something wonderful about music that liberates the spirit in ways beyond traditional intervention programs. We need El Systema here in NYC! (Ruben Austria, Soros Justice Fellow)
