Buddy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This is rather heart touching to say the least. Is anyone else familiar with this? It does remind me of Edward Villella and The Miami City Ballet's efforts to encourage and recruit young and sometimes underprivileged dancers from Brazil and give them an opportunity to become great world class artists.

Buddy Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ah, the Dude! “Since its inception in 1976, El Sistema, Venezuela’s phenomenal youth orchestra program, has brought social transformation to several million disadvantaged children in that country. In addition to producing world class musicians like conductor Gustavo Dudamel, El Sistema is now a rapidly expanding global movement, changing countless young lives worldwide.” http://www.crescendofilmdoc.com My pleasure, dirac.
