Venezuela's National Orchestra celebrates 50th anniversary

More than 4,000 musicians gathered in a Caracas square to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Venezuela's National Orchestra System, performing pieces such as "The Tempest" in a public concert. The event showcased the growth of the system, which began with just 11 musicians in a small parking lot and has now expanded to a major national celebration. 

The concert marked a significant achievement for the program founded by José Antonio Abreu. Musicians expressed pride in being part of the historic performance, which they described as a long-fought dream for the system and its founder.
