Children assembled in a school yard play their cellos in Lima, Peru on Feb. 23, 2012, during the string instruments practice, organized by celebrated tenor Juan Diego Florez. Florez was inspired by the 'wonder' Youth Orchestras of Venezuela. Open to anyone between 8 and 16 years with musical interests, the system promotes the creation of “district clusters," where professionals provide free lessons for choral, string, wind and percussion instruments.
