The story of the vibrant, young Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel — current director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic — and his country’s music program, El Sistema, that led him to success. Part history, part reportage, this book reveals that arts education can indeed effect positive social change.
“…should be read by all those interested in music education, community building, and advocacy for the disadvantaged. An essential purchase.” –Library Journal, Starred Review
