Intrigued by tonight's Sixty Minutes segment featuring El Sistema--"The System"--in which the lives of thousands of Venezuelan children have been changed through classical music? (The segment itself was about Gustavo Dudamel, Los Angeles Philharmonic/Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles, himself a graduate of el sistema.)
