My Material Life Is Simple.

For Me, Venezuela Is Very Important, Not Just Because It's A Place I Go To Conduct, But Because My Family Is There - My Wife, My Parents And My Musical Family.

You Have To Believe That Things Will Happen, You Have To Work And Love What You're Doing.

Going To A Concert Can Sometimes Be Very Difficult. It Can Be A Long Journey. There's The Ticket Prices. But When The Music Goes To The Community - Not The Community Coming To The Concert - They Say, 'wow! I Didn't Know That This Music Was So Amazing!

My Main Goal, And It's A Big One, Is That Every Child Has A Chance To Get Close To Music - As A Right - That As They Have Access To Food, Health, And Education, They Get The Chance To Have Art And Culture - Especially Music.

I Think It's A Very Important Collaboration Between The Conductor And The Orchestra - Especially When The Conductor Is One More Member Of The Orchestra In The Way That You Are Leading, But Also Respecting, Feeling And Building The Same Way For All The Players To Understand The Music.
