When Gustavo Dudamel ascended the podium at the Hollywood Bowl for his inaugural concert as conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, he captivated the hearts of his audience, just as he had the minds of music critics. In Changing Lives, the maestro's story becomes the entry point to El Sistema, the programme that nurtured his talent under the mentorship of its founder, Jose Antonio Abreu. What began in Venezuela has reached children in cities around the world. The goal of El Sistema is unwavering: to rescue children from the depredations of poverty, through music. Part history, part reportage, this book shows how arts education can effect positive social change.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this "vivid story" (Economist), Tricia Tunstall "chronicles the origins and growth of Venezuela's acclaimed El Sistema national music education program" (Reed Johnson, Los Angeles Times) and illustrates its overarching goal: to rescue children from the depredations of poverty through music. What began in Venezuela has extended to Los Angeles, New York City, and Baltimore, illustrating that El Sistema is not just a program, it's a movement. Combining firsthand interviews with compelling stories, Changing Lives reveals that arts education can indeed effect positive social change in the United States and around the world. Reminds us of how arts education can change lives. Gary Stager, Huffington Post Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
