National Youth Orchestra of Venezuela / Sir Simon Rattle

In the organizer's words:

Old masters with youthful freshness

For almost 50 years, the "El Sistema" initiative, Venezuela's large-scale music promotion program, has been a permanent fixture in national and international musical life. The youth orchestras in particular have made a name for themselves under the direction of renowned conductors - the best-known example is the orchestra named after freedom fighter Simón Bolívar with its chief conductor Gustavo Dudamel, which strictly speaking is no longer a youth orchestra. The successor orchestra is now coming to Hamburg with highly talented and motivated young people, star conductor Sir Simon Rattle and Gustav Mahler's popular First Symphony.
