Review
Starred Review. This passionate and inspiring story should be read by all those interested in music education, community building, and advocacy for the disadvantaged. An essential purchase. --Publisher's Weekly
...a combination of plentiful engaging interview material and an evocative sense of place/event...Tunstall has a keen eye for descriptive detail... --Classical Music
This is a fascinating study of what's possible for a movement very much in its infancy over here. ----Inverness Courier

I cannot praise Tricia Tunstalls work. It encompasses the very origins of El Sistema and Maestro Abreus vision and recounts experiences of seasoned Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra musicians as well as more recent students. Having travelled lots in Venezuela I am very aware of El Sistema and its very core principal of social inclusiveness. However, this book brought even more interest and happiness and I would urge anyone with a musical and / or social interest to make this work their introduction to the world of El sistema and you will emerge from your journey a better and happier human being.

Changing Lives describes a beautiful miracle happening right now. It clearly documents how it was conceived, born and is manifesting right now and shows once and for all how music elevates humanity. Very moving.
