When Gustavo Dudamel, at the age of twenty-eight, ascended the
podium at the Hollywood Bowl for his inaugural concert as conductor
of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, he immediately captivated the
hearts of his audience, just as he had the minds of music critics
who designated him a modern-day Leonard Bernstein. In Changing
Lives, the maestro's story becomes the entry point to an equally
captivating subject: El Sistema, the music education program that
nurtured his musical talent, first as a young violinist and then as
a budding conductor under the mentorship of its founder, Jose
Antonio Abreu. What began in Venezuela has now reached children in
Los Angeles, New York City, Baltimore, and cities around the world.
No matter the location, the overarching goal of El Sistema is
unwavering: to rescue children from the depredations of poverty
through music. Part history, part reportage, this book reveals that
arts education can indeed effect positive social change."
