But while you're here, watch this wonderful recent performance, from the 2009 TED Prize:
The Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra contains the best high school musicians from Venezuela's life-changing music program, El Sistema, founded by 2009 TED Prize winner Jose Antonio Abreu. Led by star Gustavo Dudamel, the orchestra plays Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10, 2nd movement, and Arturo Márquez' Danzón No. 2. One recent comment on this performance: "The ENERGY in this orchestra, holy mother. This ROCKED TED." (Recorded February 2009 in Caracas, Venezuela, and Long Beach, California. Duration: 17:06.)
Watch Gustavo Dudamel and the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra -- and then watch Jose Antonio Abreu's TED Prize wish to bring this musical program to the world.
