On May 7, 1939, in the city of Valera, Trujillo
state, José Antonio Abreu Anselmi was born, a teacher
who, inspired by humanism and trusting in the abilities of the people,
implemented the greatest mechanism of musical inclusion that today is an
example in the world; the National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras.
This work of humanity began in 1975, and since then, their struggle to expand this
dream has not stopped, and thanks to the
undisputed support of the Bolivarian Revolution, the orchestra system had its greatest boom, which not only meant the increase
of its
participants, to more than one million, but also the expansion of its
reach, taking it to the farthest corners of the country.
This beautiful work earned him countless
awards, which today adorn the memory of this illustrious Venezuelan,
who, inspired by the strength and perseverance of the Liberator
Simon Bolivar, built this space for the creation and deployment of the greatest art
of humanity, such as music.
Today in the 84th birthday, the Venezuelan people honor
those who, trusting in the creative powers of the humble, dedicated their lives to
the inclusion and formation of a better human being, who is the supreme goal of
those who combat capitalism and promote socialism.
“Music sows values in the child's soul. It teaches him to
appreciate the beautiful, the noble and there lies the germ of what is then transformed
into aesthetic values that are then translated into ethical values”.
José Antonio Abreu
