Changing Lives: Gustavo Dudamel, El Sistema, and the Transformative Power of Music

â€œReminds us of how arts education can change lives.â€ â€•Gary Stager, Huffington Post
In this â€œvivid storyâ€ (Economist), Tricia Tunstall â€œchronicles the origins and growth of Venezuelaâ€™s acclaimed El Sistema national music education programâ€ (Reed Johnson, Los Angeles Times) and illustrates its overarching goal: to rescue children from the depredations of poverty through music. What began in Venezuela has extended to Los Angeles, New York City, and Baltimore, illustrating that El Sistema is not just a program, itâ€™s a movement. Combining firsthand interviews with compelling stories, Changing Lives reveals that arts education can indeed effect positive social change in the United States and around the world. 16 pages of illustrations
