The Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra
at the Beethoven Festival 2007

After one could track the young musicians preparing for the Beethoven Festival in the documentary "The Promise of Music" on Venezuela's visionary music-education system, one now can watch and listen to the orchestra and their brilliant conductor performing at the 2007 Bonn Beethoven Festival, where their concert was hailed as "sensational... a standing ovation after every piece" - Süddeutsche Zeitung

The concert repertoire includes:
- Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony no.3
  "Eroica" (complete)
- José Pablo Moncayo: Huapango
- Alberto Ginastera: Danza final (Malambo)

"Dudamel and the orchestra are the most exciting thin in classical music." - Boston Globe
