Juan Diego Florez sings for Peru's disadvantaged children / euronews

Juan Diego Flórez is giving disadvantaged children a bright future through the power of music. Inspired by Venezuelan music network "El Sistema" the operatic tenor has created music schools throughout his home country Peru allowing thousands of children from low-income families to play an instrument or to sing in a choir. "Music can improve the lives of children of the youth and can really transform society in a great way," Florez told euronews. "They are learning generosity, they are learning discipline, they are playing for a goal, for excellence, for beautiful music. The most important thing is that they are acquiring attitudes and values for life."
