On 29 April Ties Mellema played the Tallahatchie Concerto by Dutch composer Jacob ter Veldhuis with the National Youth Orchestra 'Simon Bolivar' of Venezuela, conducted by the young and talented Gustavo Dudamel.
The Venezuelan youth orchestra system is one of a kind and to 300.000 young Venezuelans it offers the possibility to learn to play an instrument and play in a youth orchestra, all funded by the same system.
