The Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar (Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra) is a Venezuelan orchestra. Named after the Venezuelan national hero Simón Bolívar, it is the apex of the nation’s system of youth orchestras, although by 2011, it was no longer officially a youth orchestra because the average age of the players had risen too high. The country’s national youth orchestra is now the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra.

The economist José Antonio Abreu established the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar on 12 February 1975. Gustavo Dudamel has been the orchestra’s artistic director since 1999. The orchestra has worked with many famous conductors including Claudio Abbado and Simon Rattle.

Arturo Márquez (born 20 December 1950) is a Mexican composer of orchestral music who uses musical forms and styles of his native Mexico and incorporates them into his compositions.

  1. Maestro Gustavo Dudamel published an open letter in Spanish and English on the inhumane situation in his motherland Venezuela, after Armando Cañizales Carrillo, 18 years young promising talented violinist, was killed in Caracas, on May 4.

    LEVANTO MI VOZ / I RAISE MY VOICE
    GUSTAVO DUDAMEL·THURSDAY, 4 MAY 2017
    Mi vida entera la he dedicado a la música y al arte como forma de transformar las sociedades. Levanto mi voz en contra de la violencia y la represión. Nada puede justificar el derramamiento de sangre. Ya basta de desatender el justo clamor de un pueblo sofocado por una intolerable crisis. Históricamente el pueblo venezolano ha sido un pueblo luchador pero jamás violento.

    Para que la democracia sea sana debe haber respeto y entendimiento verdadero. La democracia no puede estar construida a la medida de un gobierno particular porque dejaría de ser democracia. El ejercicio democrático implica escuchar la voz de la mayoría, como baluarte último de la verdad social. Ninguna ideología puede ir más allá del bien común. La política se debe hacer desde la consciencia y en el más absoluto respeto a la constitucionalidad, adaptándose a una sociedad joven que, como la venezolana, tiene el derecho a reinventarse y rehacerse en el sano e inobjetable contrapeso democrático.

    Los venezolanos están desesperados por su derecho inalienable al bienestar y a la satisfacción de sus más básicas necesidades. Las únicas armas que se le puede entregar a un pueblo son las herramientas para forjar su porvenir: instrumentos musicales, pinceles, libros; en fin, los más altos valores del espíritu humano: el bien, la verdad y la belleza.

    Hago un llamado urgente al Presidente de la República y al gobierno nacional a que se rectifique y escuche la voz del pueblo venezolano. Los tiempos no pueden estar marcados por la sangre de nuestra gente. Debemos a nuestros jóvenes un mundo esperanzador, un país en el que se pueda caminar libremente en el disentimiento, en el respeto, en la tolerancia, en el diálogo y en el que los sueños tengan cabida para construir la Venezuela que todos anhelamos.

    Es el momento de escuchar a la gente: Ya basta.

    – Gustavo Dudamel

    My entire life has been devoted to music and art as a way of transforming societies. I raise my voice against violence. I raise my voice against any form of repression. Nothing justifies bloodshed. We must stop ignoring the just cry of the people suffocated by an intolerable crisis. Extreme confrontation and polarization cannot seize common conscience and peace, constituting borders and barriers to understanding and peaceful and democratic coexistence. Historically the Venezuelans have been a fighting people but never a violent one.

    For democracy to be healthy there must be true respect and understanding. Democracy cannot be built to fit the needs of a particular government or otherwise it would cease to be a democracy. The democratic exercise involves listening to the voice of the majority as the ultimate bulwark of social truth. No ideology can go beyond the common good. Politics must be exercised from conscience and in the utmost respect of the Constitution, adapting itself to a young society that, like the Venezuelan, has the right to reinvent itself through the healthy and unobjectionable democratic checks and balances.

    Venezuelans are desperate for their inalienable right to well-being and the satisfaction of their basic needs. The only weapons that can be given to people are the necessary tools to forge their future: books, brushes, musical instruments; in short, those that embody the highest values of the human spirit: good, truth and beauty.

    I urgently call on the President of the Republic and the national government to rectify and listen to the voice of the Venezuelan people. Times cannot be defined by the blood of our people. We owe our youth a hopeful world, a country where we can walk freely in dissent, in respect, in tolerance, in dialogue and in which dreams have room to build the Venezuela we all yearn for.
    It is time to listen to the people: Enough is enough.

    – Gustavo Dudamel

    Armando Cañizales Carrillo
    The name Armando Cañizales Carrillo is written on a black background on Dudamel's Twitter account, and Dudamel's Twitter profile photo is black. About Armando Cañizales Carrillo is only news in Spanish available, not in English. This 18 years young man was a promising, talented musician, a violinist, as far I understood it well.

  5. Anyone know if there's a higher quality audio recording available? The compression artifacts are killing an otherwise great performance!

  12. Que feooooooo!!! …horrible ,lo tocaron con las patas ,se nota que no son mexicanos ,parece samba…mis oídos murieron después de ésta basura

  13. I love the piano playing at 4.16. however the whole work is beautiful and uplifting and I have now watched and listened many, many times. A fine orchestra and so well conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. Greetings and thanks from Scotland.

  28. I'll be playing doubling flute & piccolo for my school orchestra and doing the solo parts. Such a beautiful piece of music away from typical Classical pieces. Such an enjoyable piece to play!

  35. if one were to go to veracruz, mexico, the cradle of the Danzon, one would see that the Danzon is a stately, noble dance, and not just some piece of cheap rock-n-roll.

  37. This is one of the most beautiful Cuban Danzon newer composition I have heard.   Marquez so loved the Cuban Danzon that he was totally immersed in it composing several other Danzon and Clave.

  39. Spesso ascolto e riascolto il Danzon N. 2 con tutto lo splendore interpretativo di Gustavo Dudamel , della Simon Bolivar e con la speciale entrata di David Medina!
