My Material Life Is Simple.

My Relationship With The Philharmonia Orchestra Brought Me Many Times To London And I Will Always Reflect Positively On That Early Period Of Development With Them - Their Patience, Their Warmth, Their Dedication.

My Main Goal, And It's A Big One, Is That Every Child Has A Chance To Get Close To Music - As A Right - That As They Have Access To Food, Health, And Education, They Get The Chance To Have Art And Culture - Especially Music.

Classical Music In Venezuela Is Now Something Like A Pop Concert. You Can See People Screaming Or Crying Because They Don't Have A Ticket.

I Studied Music Since I Was Four Years Old, And From That Moment I Became Part Of A Family. And That Family Has Taught Me Things; Not Only Musical Things, But Things I Have To Face In Life, And That Is Where The Success Of The System Lies

I Think It's A Very Important Collaboration Between The Conductor And The Orchestra - Especially When The Conductor Is One More Member Of The Orchestra In The Way That You Are Leading, But Also Respecting, Feeling And Building The Same Way For All The Players To Understand The Music.
