00:00:03.580 --> 00:00:06.470
When you give an instrument
to a young person

00:00:06.470 --> 00:00:09.480
that doesn't have any hope,

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.300
you are giving a world of possibilities.

00:00:15.834 --> 00:00:19.110
In music,
you have to listen to each others,

00:00:19.110 --> 00:00:22.539
you have to create harmony
with other instruments

00:00:22.539 --> 00:00:25.660
you start to listen differently.

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:29.060
And when you apply that in the society,

00:00:29.060 --> 00:00:30.839
you are a different person

00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:32.970
you are a different human being.

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:36.699
I was blessed to be born in a country

00:00:36.699 --> 00:00:38.988
where we have Maestro José Antonio Abreu

00:00:38.988 --> 00:00:41.840
and a program called El Sistema.

00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.449
We are all the time together

00:00:43.449 --> 00:00:45.500
playing and listening to each other,

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:47.820
creating harmonies and understanding.

00:00:50.030 --> 00:00:53.369
YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles)
is a program inspired by El Sistema.

00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:56.217
It is not just an orchestra.

00:00:56.217 --> 00:00:59.027
It is not just a music school.

00:00:59.027 --> 00:01:03.707
It is a program 
that provides hope and inspiration.

00:01:04.463 --> 00:01:11.493
(Music)

00:01:51.180 --> 00:01:53.140
Master Abreu always said:

00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:54.140
"Start small ...

00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:57.160
And from that, you get bigger and bigger.

00:01:57.888 --> 00:02:01.890
It's incredible to see
El Sistema in Japan,

00:02:01.890 --> 00:02:03.159
in Korea,

00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:04.220
in Sweden,

00:02:04.220 --> 00:02:06.570
and here in Los Angeles.

00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:09.030
It's all around the world!

00:02:09.820 --> 00:02:11.870
They are children...

00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:12.870
listening

00:02:12.870 --> 00:02:14.110
and seeing other children,

00:02:14.260 --> 00:02:15.390
all doing music.

00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:17.060
And you make a family,

00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:18.760
and you trust in each other.

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:21.080
That is the dream, I think.

00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.610
Music as a fundamental human right.

00:02:24.610 --> 00:02:28.501
That for me is the most important thing.
