The Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar (Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra) is a Venezuelan orchestra. Named after the Venezuelan national hero Simón Bolívar, it is the apex of the nation's system of youth orchestras, although by 2011, it was no longer officially a youth orchestra because the average age of the players had risen too high.〔Guy Dammann (6 August 2011), (Prom 29: Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra - review ),'' The Guardian''〕 The country's national youth orchestra is now the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra.〔Ed Vulliamy (3 October 2010), (Simon Rattle: Abreu deserves the Nobel peace prize ), ''The Observer''〕 The economist José Antonio Abreu established the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar on 12 February 1975. Gustavo Dudamel has been the orchestra's artistic director since 1999. The orchestra has worked with many famous conductors including Claudio Abbado and Simon Rattle. ==Social action through music== Venezuela's youth orchestras are run under the auspices of the Fundación Musical Simón Bolívar (FMSB), formerly known as the ''Fundacion del Estado para el Sistema Nacional de las Orquestas Juveniles e Infantiles de Venezuela'', known colloquially as ''El Sistema''. Based in Caracas, the orchestra moved its home in 2007 from the Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex to a new Center for Social Action Through Music nearby. The name of the center reflects the fact that El Sistema sees itself as a social agency: most of its music students come from poor socio-economic backgrounds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strings from the slums )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
