The maestro and the transformation through music

We believe in culture as a powerful tool for social transformation, capable of generating a positive impact that can be reverberated for generations. The maestro of Orquestra Vale Música in Pará, Brazil, Renan Cardoso, is a great example of this. Renan, who joined Vale Música as a student at the age of 8, today has his profession in art and works on the project helping young people, as he once was, to find and follow their own path.
