Manifest

We are collective art

Born amidst shared dreams,
Learning to play in concert, to breathe as one,
and to listen to others before oneself.

We are the Caribbean, vibrant tropics and the cadence of the unpredictable.
Our sound possesses deep roots and wings.

We are the energy of a land unafraid of complexity,
nourished by passion.

In every note, there is rigor, and in every pause, history.
Our art is not mere entertainment;
It is emotion, enchantment, vertigo.

Music that does not adorn, but transforms
We are precision, intensity, social force, and luxury.
We are the sound that shakes the world.

our founding director MAESTRO ABREU

As part of El Sistema's 50th anniversary celebrations, the orchestra pays tribute to its founder, Maestro José Antonio Abreu. A visionary and humanist, Abreu conceived music as a social project, excellence with inclusion, and the orchestra as a model for society. Thanks to his vision, the Simón Bolívar Orchestra and El Sistema achieved global recognition. His legacy inspires, guides, and sustains everything we are and everything that is yet to come.
