More than twelve thousand members of Venezuela’s National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras and Choirs gathered on Saturday afternoon in the courtyard of the military academies in southern Caracas to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest orchestra.

The children and young musicians performed the Slavonic March by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky with more than 8,097 instruments playing simultaneously for more than five minutes. To determine whether a new world record has been set, more than 250 supervisors and judges had to be present at the event.

The National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras and Choirs of Venezuela was created in 1975 by the prominent Venezuelan conductor Jose Antonio Abreu, and in the last two decades has been maintained by the governments of Hugo Chavez and Nicolás Maduro.

Today, the system brings together more than one million students in more than 400 centres throughout Venezuela.

The Guinness World Records will determine within 10 days whether Venezuela has broken the current record, held by Russia.

SOT, Delcy Rodriguez, Vice President of Venezuela (Spanish): “You are the joy, you, young people from the System of Orchestras who today participate for a Guinness Record as the largest orchestra in the world. You are adorning Venezuela, today Venezuela is celebrating.”
