Last night's episode of the BBC1 arts series Imagine looked at the inspirational El Sistema orchestral programme in Venezuela.
"I realised that one of the most efficient ways to fight poverty was to introduce excluded children and young people to a musical education, give them a way into music that they didn't have before and turn their families and communities into our allies." Jose Antonio Abreu, founder of El Sistema.
