Something positive from Venezuela.

Things are a-changing!

clipped from blogs.channel4.com I emerged emotionally exhausted from what was undoubtedly one of the most incredible musical experiences I have ever had. Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela have been celebrated on every media platform all week. But nothing prepares you for the real thing. The sound, the energy, the scale, the vision, combine to seize your soul like nothing else. The energy and the scale of the noise, together with the balletic exuberance, drew the emotions across the hall. The music opened with vibrant Latin American pieces before making way for Stravinsky’s incredible Rite of Spring.
