The foundation assures that: “Dream Orchestra, under the direction of the artistic director and founder, Ron Davis Alvarez, in five years has not only become a world-class youth orchestra, but has also taught hundreds of children and young people that music can be a way to make your voice heard, to find brotherhood in the world. Through hard work, through hundreds of rehearsals and in large concerts in front of huge audiences, this orchestra project has manifested the importance of defending the vulnerable and has shown how music can give hope and strength to new voices”.

With the award, the foundation wants to draw attention to the role that music can play in defending freedom of thought and expression. The award will be presented at the orchestra's anniversary concert, this October 23.
