The National Network of Youth and Children Orchestras of Venezuela (FESNOJIV) is currently composed of 120 youth orchestras and 60 children´s orchestras. It started functioning in 1975 in order to allow students of music to put their theoretical knowledge into practice.
The project was launched internationally in 1995 with the performance of the National Youth Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Centre in Washington (U.S.A.). Its exceptional artistic quality has taken it around the world, having performed in the United Nations Headquarters in New York and for Pope John Paul II. It has been led by some of the most prestigious conductors, such as Claudio Abbado, Zubin Mehta, Sir Simon Rattle (from Berlin´s Philharmonic), Gustavo Dudamel, the current director of The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, who received his musical training within this system, and maestro Eduardo Mata. These young students have had the opportunity to perform alongside figures of great stature such as Plácido Domingo, Mstislav Rostropovich, Alicia de Larrocha, Montserrat Caballé or Vladimir Spivakov, among many others.
