History Hour
Xavier Centre of Historical Research and Child’s Play India Foundation ( www.childsplayindia.org) invite you to a screening of ‘Tocar y Luchar’ (To Play and To Fight) “…the most important project in the music world in our time.” - Claudio Abbado “There is no more important work being done in music than what is being done in Venezuela” – Sir Simon Rattle “This is a message for the world; this is the future of music” – Placido Domingo This extraordinary documentary explores one of the music world’s most uplifting social phenomena, the Venezuelan Youth Orchestra System (‘El Sistema’), which has made world-class musicians out of underprivileged young children. With interviews with many of the world’s most celebrated musicians including the great tenor Placido Domingo, Claudio Abbado, Sir Simon Rattle, Guiseppe Sinopoli, and Eduardo Mata, To Play and To Fight is an inspirational story of courage, determination, ambition, and love showing us that… only those who dream can achieve the impossible.
