Two musicians watched from the car as students and police clashed against each other. There was just one day left to play in the symphonic tribute to Pink Floyd, as they contemplated how the whole function was crumbling before their eyes.

On the 29th of April 2009, two musicians watched hopelessly from the car as students and police clashed against each other. Student riots impeded them from getting to a rehearsal with the Merida Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela. It was just one day before the biggest event of their lives: A Symphony Tribute to the British rock band Pink Floyd, as they contemplated how the whole function was crumbling right before their very eyes.—Anonymous

On the 29th of April, 2009, two musicians watched hopelessly from the car as students and police clashed against each other. Student riots impeded them from getting to a rehearsal with the Merida symphony orchestra in Venezuela. There was just one day left to play in the event of their Lifetime: A symphonic tribute to the British rock band Pink Floyd, as they contemplated how the whole function was crumbling right before their very eyes. The city was under police and military siege and immersed in University protests and student riots. At the same time, the Swain flu epidemic had just broken out and was making World headlines, so the State Governor had suspended all public activities and gatherings. The musicians decide to have the concert under closed doors without the public in order to document it on film. A week later they are able to coordinate again all the activities and finally perform the concert tribute that lasted two days and was composed of ninety musicians.—Sergio Zaurin
