Join us this Sunday for an historic outdoor public event featuring El Sistema's National Youth Orchestra of Caracas. An amazing ensemble of 160 Venezuelan youth ages 16-24 will perform an exciting program of classical and Latin American orchestral repertoire guaranteed to inspire audiences of all ages.
This is the same orchestra that will be performing next week at the United Nations for the UN's 70th Anniversary.
All of us here at UpBeat are particularly excited about this event as it marks the first time a Venezuelan symphony orchestra will perform in the Bronx, giving our community a unique opportunity to experience the beautiful possibilities of social action through music that have been realized in Venezuela and are beginning to take shape in the U.S. through programs like UpBeat NYC here in the South Bronx.
Please come out this Sunday with friends and family to be a part of NYC musical history!
