1
00:00:03,580 --> 00:00:06,470
When you give an instrument
to a young person

2
00:00:06,470 --> 00:00:09,480
that doesn't have any hope,

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,300
you are giving a world of possibilities.

Musical Education

5
00:00:15,834 --> 00:00:19,110
In music,
you have to listen to each others,

6
00:00:19,110 --> 00:00:22,539
you have to create harmony
with other instruments

7
00:00:22,539 --> 00:00:25,660
you start to listen differently.

8
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:29,060
And when you apply that in the society,

9
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:30,839
you are a different person

10
00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:32,970
you are a different human being.

11
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:36,699
I was blessed to be born in a country

12
00:00:36,699 --> 00:00:38,988
where we have Maestro José Antonio Abreu

13
00:00:38,988 --> 00:00:41,840
and a program called El Sistema.

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,449
We are all the time together

15
00:00:43,449 --> 00:00:45,500
playing and listening to each other,

16
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:47,820
creating harmonies and understanding.

17
00:00:50,030 --> 00:00:53,369
YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles)
is a program inspired by El Sistema.

18
00:00:53,369 --> 00:00:56,217
It is not just an orchestra.

19
00:00:56,217 --> 00:00:59,027
It is not just a music school.

20
00:00:59,027 --> 00:01:03,707
It is a program 
that provides hope and inspiration.

21
00:01:04,463 --> 00:01:11,493
(Music)

22
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:53,140
Master Abreu always said:

23
00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:54,140
"Start small ...

24
00:01:54,140 --> 00:01:57,160
And from that, you get bigger and bigger.

25
00:01:57,888 --> 00:02:01,890
It's incredible to see
El Sistema in Japan,

26
00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:03,159
in Korea,

27
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:04,220
in Sweden,

28
00:02:04,220 --> 00:02:06,570
and here in Los Angeles.

29
00:02:06,980 --> 00:02:09,030
It's all around the world!

30
00:02:09,820 --> 00:02:11,870
They are children...

31
00:02:11,870 --> 00:02:12,870
listening

32
00:02:12,870 --> 00:02:14,110
and seeing other children,

33
00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:15,390
all doing music.

34
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,060
And you make a family,

35
00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:18,760
and you trust in each other.

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,080
That is the dream, I think.

37
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,610
Music as a fundamental human right.

38
00:02:24,610 --> 00:02:28,501
That for me is the most important thing.
