Maestro Jose Abreu's TED Talk

Hey! Check out this very inspiring speech from Maestro Jose Abreu, the founder of El Sistema, which is the orchestra program Malcolm is in.



Amazing, eh? This is my favourite quote from his talk:

A few years ago, historian Arnold Toynbee said that the world was suffering a huge spiritual crisis. Not an economic or a social crisis, but a spiritual one. I believe that to confront such a crisis, only art and religion can give proper answers to humanity, to mankind's deepest aspirations, and to the historic demands of our time.
By the way, if you've never checked out TED, it is an amazing resource of talks by brilliant speakers.
