The Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra contains the best high school musicians from El Sistema, a publicly funded Venezuelan music-education program known for rescuing young people in impoverished circumstances.
Led by Gustavo Dudamel, a product of the El Sistema and new music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the orchestra plays Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10, 2nd movement, and Arturo Márquez’ Danzón No. 2. Sit back, turn up the music, and enjoy.
