Crescendo! The Power of Music (2014)
MOVIE
El Sistema, a groundbreaking youth orchestra initiative launched in Venezuela in 1976, has profoundly impacted the lives of underprivileged children by fostering their musical talents. Jamie Berstein’s compelling documentary spotlights the journeys of three young musicians in Philadelphia and New York. Raven, a gifted violinist, grapples with her inflated ego; Zebadiah seeks the confidence to overcome his social challenges; while Mohammed, a trombonist, faces academic struggles that jeopardize his place in the program. Through their stories, the film beautifully illustrates the transformative power of music in their lives.
