Venezuela's National System of Youth and
Children's Orchestras and Choirs announced that it will seek its second Guinness Record, as it seeks to
become the largest choir in the world.
Through its social networks, El Sistema invited “to
participate in an extraordinary challenge, to become the largest choir in the
world and achieve our second Guinness Record. Imagine thousands of voices
singing in unison, creating an unparalleled harmony.”
At the end of 2021, the Venezuelan National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras and
Choirs brought together more than 12,000 musicians to
perform Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky's Slavic March, which brought them to the Guinness Book
of Records, as the largest orchestra in the world.
It was 8 continuous minutes, that the piece was heard under the
baton of Maestro Andrés Ascanio, in the Courtyard of Honor of the Academies in Caracas.
Seven days later, Guinness World Records unveiled the certificate for
this new feat at an event that included the Petare ensemble, which showed off their musical performance with the theme
Amalia.
