Such beautiful music on Venezuela! It's always great to see something "impossible" become "possible" and absolutly brilliant.
Bravo!

Quotes:
"I had recieved a donation of 50 music stands to be used by 100 boys for that rehearsal. When I arrived at the rehearsal only 11 kids showed up."
"Do I close this program, or multiply these kids?"
"There is no difference here between classes, nor white or black, if you have money or not. Simply if you are talented, if you have the vocation and the will to be here, you get in, you share with us and make music."
