NS Cuba Association and Albasol Tours present the inspirational film:
TOCAR Y LUCHAR
(TO PLAY AND TO FIGHT)
Thursday, April 3, 2008 at 7 pm.
Art Gallery of Nova Scotia - Bedford Row Entrance
To Play and To Fight is the captivating story of the Venezuelan Youth and Children's Orchestra System, an incredible network of hundreds of orchestras formed within most of Venezuela's towns and villages. Once a modest program designed to expose rural children to the wonders of music, 'El Sistema' has evolved into what has been called "one of the most important and beautiful social phenomena in modern history." Close to half a million students have participated in the program, which was founded in 1975 by musician, economist and politician Jose Antonio Abreu as a state-funded social program to improve the lives of the country's underprivileged youth.
Jose Antonio Abreu recently won Canada's prestigious Glenn Gould Award -- awarded every third year in recognition of a significant contribution to the arts, music and communication.
See this beautiful film!
