El Sistema is the international famous phenomenon from Venezuela and the invitation of the National Children´s Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela and the White Hands Choir to the Salzburg Festival 2013 show their musical and educational quality. Conducted by Sir Simon Rattle who said about El Sistema: "When I first conducted the Infantil Orchestra in Caracas, I could not believe that children as young as nine and never older than 14 could not only play all the notes, but also could make such wonderful music. It is exhilarating and life-enhancing. This is, quite simply, the future of music. Those of you lucky enough to hear the concerts will see why", this concert shows the joy and the musical quality of the orchestra, which thrilled the audience!
"The players attack [Ginastera's] life-affirming score with unalloyed confidence and joy...The sight and sound of these youngsters playing this great music [the Mahler] with such complete commitment is heart-warming...The second film follows the visit to Salzburg by members of the White Hands Choir...There is many a professional able-bodied Western choir who cannot touch the heart quite like these blind and deaf youngsters." - Gramophone Magazine, October 2014
