No high school band had such musicianship. This sounds like a film score. Bravo

@jefr1989 Dear ...
@jefr1989 Dear Venezuelan friend. With all due respect, you are an idiot. What Chavez is to El Sistema is what steriods are to athletes. Chavez more than tripled the benefits to the families of the musicians, something previous governments were uninterested in doing. Such as free health care to all, subsidized housing and food to all the families, free education to everyone. Musicians play way better than before Chavez. It is the revolution that has made all the difference in the world.

@MultiJleal No government in the world, and no state government in the USA spends $120 million on music education for poor kids like its done in Venezuela. That shows honor in the government of Venezuela. Thank you President Hugo Chavez !

@19BARD85 Of course we can, but to wear the national flag ist something that makes us very proud.

@terejesus28 ...
@terejesus28 Totalmente de acuerdo contigo.El maestro Abreu durante màs de treinta años estuvo trabajando pràcticamente con la uñas, porque los proyectos por màs novedosos y maravillosos que sean, necesitan de financiamiento; cosa que no obtuvo de los gobiernos anteriores. Ahora El Sistema se masificò porque precisamente ese financiamiento que antes no tuvo ahora lo tiene. Eso es lo que se le agradece a Chavez. No es fanatismo, es saber reconocer lo que hay que reconocer.

@AHR1228 sorry, you ...
@AHR1228 sorry, you are right we stop it now. Now to talk about performance: This is my favorite youtube performance of danzon no 2. And I cannot tell if the wind instruments sound at 14:37 is a small mistake, since I never heard it in other interpretations, but it sounds nice. I wish I was there I was lucky enough to watch a sbo performance featuring Danzon No. 2 in Fesnojiv facilities when the concert hall was innagurated privately :)

I don't live in ...
I don't live in Venezuela, nor have I ever lived in the country previously. But seriously? All this talk about President Chavez...I was beginning to think this was a political debate...

@Polovene Chavez ...
@Polovene Chavez pays a stipend to all the families whose children participate in the after school music program. Before Chavez the Venezuelan Capitalist government would steal government funds thus leaving little money for El Sistema. Chavez innovated honest government for the first time in Venezuelan history. These are the facts plain and simple.

Not to follow ...
Not to follow padredemishijos12's attempts to taint music with his obscure political views, I will just share with you the link to "el sistema" 's site: fesnojiv.gob.ve/es/historia.html Yes, Abreu started it on 1975. By 1989, democratic times, el sistema was already known and awarded internationally. It's trademark: it was inclusive rather than exclusive: poor kids were much part of it. Dudamel himself was part of it then, playing violin (nodbody's born a conductor ;) . Enjoy the magic :)

@Polovene Before ...
@Polovene Before Chavez,El Sistema was starved for fundsThe families of the musicians lived in dire poverty.Musicians went to practice hungry. They would go to their home after practice, and there would be little food. Chavez brought the benefits of the revolution to El Sistema by providing subsidized food, free education, low cost housing, and 30,000 Cuban doctors and health workers, and a massive public works with reduced unemployment.Chavez produced, for the first time an HONEST government.

Polovene on 2012-01-09
@padredemishijos12 ...
@padredemishijos12 Please do not distort the truth and taint "the miracle" with politics. Abreu's work started in democratic times, over 30 years ago. And after the sucess and prestige our orchestra system reached worldwide, governments have supplied part of the bugdet. It has nothing to do with government Fesnojiv receives funds from government today, but it is entirely free of government management. Respect music please.

@MultiJleal Over 80 ...
@MultiJleal Over 80% of the budget comes from the Government of Venezuela. Chavez is a huge proponent of El Sistema. Chavez has provided MASSIVE subsidies to the families of ALL music students in Venezuela about 500,000 children. This did not happen before Chavez initiated the Socialist Revolution in Venezuela. The parents get paid to send their kids to FREE MUISIC TRAINING. V I V A C H A V E Z ! ! !

@blummy24x7 Allow me to inform you. I'm from Venezuela and these are high school kids!! They start when they are 5 years old in every town in my country. What you see here is a selection of some of the best that were called for this event from all over the country. This has been happening for more than 30 years.

@padredemishijos12 ...
@padredemishijos12 ¡Qué patético eres! Haces honor a una de las estratégias fundamentales del comunismo: la mentira, la propaganda creada por el genio maquiavélico de la Alemania nazi, Joseph Goebbels, y perfeccionada por los soviéticos y los cubanos para engañar a las masas ignorantes. El "Sistema" fue fundado por el maestro Abreu y tiene más de 30 años de existencia... ¡Sin Chavez!

@pmgv80 La orquesta ...
@pmgv80 La orquesta es nacional. Su presupesto viene del gobierno nacional. Es simbolo de la nacion. Egual como cualquier equipo que va a las olimpiadas. Representa Venezuela, estas orquestas, en una forma mucho mas profunda que cualquier equipo nacional de futbol o beisbol.....no. Es totalmente propio cuando se reune todods los presidentes de America Latina en Caracas que toque La Simon Bolivar con Dudamel. ELEVA VENEZUELA ANTE EL MUNDO.

@Juansanfelipe hola ...
@Juansanfelipe hola juan, disculpa pero te puedo decir que ser apolítico no existe hermano, sin la política no fuéramos seres humanos, y es algo que utilizamos en el día día con nuestro seres querido y familiares, pero que la orquesta no debe ser manejada por Política Partidista, es verdad! Trato de hacer es una critica constructiva hermano y no destructiva, pero tienes mucha razón el lo que tratas de decir, Dios lo Bendiga, y que viva Venezuela.
