In my imagination yes, I remember, when I was six years old, I was conducting all this concert in my house. But now it's real.

Whenever I listen to a children's orchestra, I learn. They feel everything, they enjoy everything, they have amazing energy.

Music is a fundamental human right

The challenge is not so much to change the sound. The challenge is to connect and to create something special.

It's not that people don't like classical music. It's that they don't have the chance to understand and to experience it.

With an orchestra you are building citizens, better citizens for the community.

You have to believe that things will happen, you have to work and love what you're doing.

I set out to create a means whereby music could be a way of vindicating the rights of the masses.

When people feel that something really special is happening on the stage, things change.

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 want to work with the big orchestras. I want to have a big family.

Although failure is a good learning experience, you don’t have to go through life making mistakes if they can be avoided.

We need to learn ourselves before we can understand what really annoys us!

We live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns.

Fanatics are those who, when following a doctrine becomes inconvenient, make up rules of their own.

The heroic hours of life do not announce their presence by drum and trumpet.

Who cares how time advances? I am drinking ale today.

How I long to see among dawn flowers, the face of God.

Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you.

As if true pride Were not also humble!

There is a sort of man who pays no attention to his good actions, but is tormented by his bad ones. This is the type that most often writes about himself.
