The attempt, made by the country’s National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras, also known as ‘The System,’ would beat a Russian record set two years ago and will be judged by Guinness in the following ten days.
There are 350,000 children and teenagers in ‘The System,’ and they perform in a network of 180 orchestras.
