Mozarteum Venezuela: un legado de educación y excelencia musical details the journey of the Fundación Mozarteum Venezuela (FMV) since its creation in 1985. Founded by Patricia Phelps de Cisneros and Gustavo Cisneros, FMV has been key in advancing classical music education and creating opportunities for Venezuelan musicians. The book covers early collaborations, such as the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra concerts in 1985, and the establishment of the Centro Mozarteum in 1997 and the Escuela de Música Mozarteum Caracas in 2001. It also highlights FMV's global engagements and its role in promoting social inclusion through music education.
Illustrated with photographs, programs, and archival materials, this publication offers a comprehensive view of FMV's contributions to the arts and emphasizes the importance of private initiatives in enhancing cultural education, documenting FMV's lasting impact on Venezuelan society.
