Tocar Y Luchar is a documentary film about the children's and youth orchestra system in Venezuela. I was teary-eyed half the time I was watching it at the Royal Geographical Society. Can we get Filipino philanthropists to support a program like this back home? Trailer here.
I heard the Proms encore of the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela conducted by Dudamel via BBC Radio 3 online. "Totally spectacular," according to the commentator.
I love the look on conductor Gustavo Dudamel's face as they play Lenny Bernstein's "Mambo" from West Side Story. Madness!
WOOW!!! Fantastic!!!! Really want to see the film NOW!!! siudingdong ^.^

this was a special screening before the proms performance of the simon bolivar youth orchestra of venezuela. you will probably have to order it online, unless they're not releasing it commercially.
