El Sistema is a publicly financed voluntary sector music education program in Venezuela, founded in 1975 by economist and musician José Antonio Abreu under the name of Social Action for Music.
For many years its official name was Fundación del Estado para el Sistema Nacional de las Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Venezuela, (FESNOJIV), which is sometimes translated into English as "National Network of Youth and Children's Orchestras of Venezuela". It has recently changed to Fundación Musical Simón Bolívar (FMSB) but it is still widely known by the FESNOJIV acronym.[1] El Sistema is a state foundation which watches over Venezuela's 125 youth orchestras and the instrumental training programmes which make them possible. The organization has 31 symphony orchestras, and between 310,000 to 370,000 children attend its music schools around the country.[2] 70 to 90 percent of the students come from poor socio-economic backgrounds.[2] History[edit] El Sistema.

José Antonio Abreu on Venezuela's El Sistema miracle. Maestro José Antonio Abreu works in an office situated in an unremarkable shopping mall in central Caracas, a few steps from one of the city's major thoroughfares.
On the afternoon we meet, the sun is shining and the streets are bustling. Nevertheless, to make the short journey by foot from a nearby car park, we are accompanied by three conspicuously armed guards. This is Caracas, one of the most violent cities in the world. Venezuela's murder rate is three times that of Iraq and four times that of Mexico. On average, 53 people are murdered here every day. This grisly statistic is on my mind as I am ushered in to meet Abreu, the 73-year-old former economist and conductor whose visionary philosophy has, since 1975, been based on the notion that a free, immersive classical music education for the poorest of the poor might positively influence the social problems plaguing the country. Abreu agrees that the statistics are "extremely grave". The slogan is more applicable today than ever. El Sistema, Venezuela’s Plan to Help Children Through Music.

And yet, Venezuela is the home of a music program that's so extraordinary it has been hailed as the future of classical music itself. As correspondent Bob Simon first reported in April, it's called "el Sistema" - "the system" - and it's all about children, about saving them - hundreds of thousands of children - through music. In the world of classical music, the Simon Bolivar National Youth Orchestra is unique. It recently made its Carnegie Hall debut with Gustavo Dudamel, its celebrated young conductor. Carnegie Hall was the last stop on the orchestra's first American tour, and a long way from its home in Venezuela.
