One of the best concerts that I've seen.

One of the best concert that I have attended was a classical music concert called “A mi maestro” conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, this concert was a tribute to José Antonio Abreu, a very important Venezuelan conductor of orchestras and a founder of “el Sistema”, one of the first and most important young orchestras national system. Abreu died on 24 March 2018 in Caracas and this concert was carry out for pay tribute to his musical career and the contributions that he made for the classical music in Latin America.

This concert was played by the OSNJ (orquesta sinfónica nacional juvenil) and invited musicians from the New York philharmonic orchestra, Vienna philharmonic orchestra and Berlin philharmonic orchestra. The program was: Tchaikovsky symphony n°4 and Beethoven Symphony n°7.

The concert was held on June 28th 2018 in the “Corp Artes” theatre. I was invited to the concert by FOJI because I’m working in a school in a young orchestra, and they bring me some tickets for some students. I went to the concert with four students and it was a very emotive experience because it was the first classical concert that my students have attended, they were moved by the performance, the big orchestral sound, the energy of performers and the size of the theater.  Another important thing is that I knew the most of the musician, they are university classmates and watch them play with one of the best conductor of the moment and play with musicians of the most important orchestras of the world was a very beautiful moment.
