Simon Rattle to conduct Venezuelan orchestra

Today’s season announcement by Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie features a triple offering:

The self-confessed »Elphi« fan Sir Simon Rattle is set to return three times this season – conducting Mahler’s »Resurrection Symphony« with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (21 March) and then with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, an ensemble he has been closely associated with for many years (26 April). Taking to the podium to lead the National Youth Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, he once again reaffirms his dedication to nurturing young musical talent (3 December).

Er, yes. But young musical talent that is used as a showcase by a military dictatorship.
