Music provides urban inspiration in Venezuela

The El Sistema is a music program for high school students in Venezuela. They are now led by Gustavo Dudamel, one of the youngest (and certainly the most exciting) composers today. Here's Dudamel conducting the Carreño Youth Orchestra as they perform Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10, 2nd movement, and Arturo Márquez' Danzón No. 2.
