Conductor Jose Angel Salazar, 14, leads the Youth Symphonic Orchestra of the Nueva Esparta state during a rehearsal in Margarita Island June 21, 2012. Salazar is Venezuela's youngest orchestra conductor - just the latest prodigy from his nation's famed El Sistema (The System) music development program - and possibly the youngest in the world. Since the mid-1970s El Sistema has taught hundreds of thousands of youths, many from impoverished homes in Venezuela's tough slums, to play in orchestras. Supporters say it gives them discipline, cuts truancy and boosts self-esteem. Picture taken June 21, 2012. REUTERS/Carlos Garcia Rawlins
