The Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra is a product of the Sistema de Orquestas, which was set up to allow children of all social levels to learn a musical instrument and play in an ensemble. This program documents the orchestra's work, opening with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, himself an alumnus of Sistema. Other works featured include Evencio Castellanos' Symphonic Suite and Arturo Márquez's Danzón No. 2, as well as pieces from Beethoven and Mahler.
