Music Is Important
Jose Antonio Abreu Bestows Musical Opportunities To Poor Venezuelan Kid
In Venezuela,
there is a huge gap between rich and poor. His mission was to help poor
Venezuelan kids to improve the quality of their lives through learning
classical music. Abreu states "Music has to be recognized as an ...
agent of social development in the highest sense, because it transmits
the highest values -- solidarity, harmony, mutual compassion. And it
has the ability to unite an entire community and to express sublime
feelings."
