Maria Gabriela Gonzalez had never been so impressed. One of his fellow musicians, who played the trumpet that some places it was down the street with a gun in his hand. "It was tough for me," he recalls. She could not believe it was possible to play an instrument and a weapon at a time.
After much time, he withdrew from the Youth Orchestra System of Venezuela. "Many times come and talk. No longer plays with us, but I know it came out of that life and works. " In a reflection of time, safely infer that your friend is who he is today, because "it saved Orchestra System. This gives us values \u200b\u200band morals we believe. "
This is a daily reality for the System of Youth and Children Orchestras of Venezuela, who is now in their rooms listening to more than 350,000 young people and children. Hence, its founder, José Antonio Abreu, conceived this experience as an organizational space social and community development through music, "A model of social life and school."
Against this background, in the context of fulfilling the first and eighth Millennium Development Goal in 2002, the UNDP in conjunction with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) began working to support the State Foundation for the System Youth and Children Orchestras of Venezuela (Fesnojiv) for the purchase of instruments. Today, many of the violins, violas, pianos, trombones, clarinets, tubas and drums that sound in Germany, France and Italy, to name some countries are bought by Fesnojiv through projects signed with UNDP.
Between 2004 and 2010, investment conducted exceeded $ 14 million, including musical instruments and audio and video. Only in 2010, bought 178 professional-level musical instruments, with an investment of over one million dollars.
says Nehyda Alas, manager of the Youth Symphony Orchestra Teresa Carreño, that 99% of young people is responsible for his musical start with the instruments of UNDP. A smile invades his face.
By sheer chance ... Jonathan
Piñero (19 years) came to the music by accident. One summer his mother forgot to enroll in a plan, vacation and an aunt suggested that she, not leave at home, put him to study music. After that, he loved the trumpet and never returned to camp. Now and for the past 12 years a member of the National Youth Orchestra Teresa Carreño, which says it has learned more than to play an instrument. Today she feels even as an example in the community where he lives: "It's like the achievement of all the work you do."
same thing happened to Gustavo Briceño. 13 years ago entered the grounds of his mother and then returned alone. Never again dropped his violin. "You start to impress yourself and think, 'If today I can do this, what I can do tomorrow?". For him, though he left on one side and holiday social engagements, to be in the system generates more profits than losses. Being a member of the Youth Symphony Orchestra is his pride Teresa Carreño. He has even managed to positively influence others Propatria neighbors, the popular area where you live, which today are also members of an orchestra. From Professor
Alas, that "the system is the hope of mothers to see their children out of poverty through music and playing field for everyone. If no bread, no bread for everyone. If instruments are also quality for all. "
Master Gustavo Dudamel, director of the Symphony Orchestra Juvenil de Venezuela "Simón Bolívar" he said in an interview with UNDP Fesnojiv young to make daily life and life in the orchestra, but this is not a factory of musicians. However, the success of the Foundation has been such that many countries worldwide, including Switzerland and Austria want to replicate the pattern.
