The State Foundation for the National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras of Venezuela (FESNOJIV - Fundación del Estado para el Sistema Nacional de Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Venezuela), commonly known as 'El Sistema' is a government-funded organization, founded by maestro José Antonio Abreu, aimed at systematizing music education and promoting the collective practice of music through symphony orchestras and chorus as a means of social organization and communitarian development.
"To play and to fight, a great motto for a great orchestra" : So read the headline of an article about the National Youth Orchestra in the Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional from February 2, 1976. To Play and to Fight is the guiding maxim of the National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras of Venezuela. It reflects the firmness of purpose and perseverance which has always characterized the conduct of its members and has made of El Sistema the most important orchestral and social program in Venezuela of the last decades.
For El Sistema’s musicians, To Play and to Fight means undertaking music as a collective experience which also involves individual effort; it entails a relentless pursuit of excellence and, above all, it means persevering until dreams become reality.
