Sugerencia: Gustavo Dudamel y la Orquesta Juvenil Simon Bolivar

Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar (Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra) is a Venezuelan youth orchestra. The economist José Antonio Abreu established the orchestra on 12 February 1975. The orchestra is under the auspices of Fundacion del Estado para el Sistema Nacional de las Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Venezuela, known colloquially as El Sistema. The orchestra is based at the Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex in Caracas and is considered the apex of the nation's system of 220 youth orchestras.

Gustavo Dudamel has been the orchestra's artistic director since 1999. The orchestra and Dudamel have made three recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, one of Beethoven; one of Mahler; and a collection of Latin American music. In August 2007, the orchestra made its debut at the BBC Proms, to critical acclaim and an enthusiastic reception from the audience: the concert was broadcast live on BBC4 TV; the following year the orchestra were featured in an evening-long programme of music from South America on the UK radio station Classic FM (8 August 2008).

A BBC TV documentary programme in the Imagine arts series, first shown on 18 November 2008, examined the history and ethos of the orchestra and its role in tackling the social problems of Venezuela and its success in transforming the lives of some of the nation's poorest children, including interviews with Dudamel, key members of the orchestra, and current and former students. Hosted by Alan Yentob, the film took a detailed look at the unique music education system of Venezuela, of which the orchestra is an integral part, and described the recent attempt to imitate its success in a deprived part of Scotland.
