"If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." --Charlie Parker – American Jazz Legend
The Heart of Music
Six years ago Lennar Acosta, 23, was making his ninth visit to a Caracas correctional facility after a history of heavy drug use and armed robbery. No school would take him, except El Sistema, Venezuela’s national system of youth and children’s orchestra, which has over 30 years transformed the lives of half-a-million kids like Lennar. Today, Lennar earns his living playing the clarinet, and along with El Sistema, moving the hearts of audiences around the world.
