An exciting and successful series of informal musical exchanges between the SPS Music Department, ESCS and Brighton’s Conservatory Lab Charter School (an El Sistema school) has created a great deal of buzz in the City and a belief that Somerville, with its rich history of arts and culture, is the perfect location for a new El Sistema program. The successful implementation of El Sistema will require broad community participation and significant fund-raising to support a highly qualified staff, and instruments for the students. Join us for a conversation on how to create a groundbreaking music program for Somerville youth!
El Sistema began in Venezuela more than 30 years ago. Information on the US program can be found at http://elsistemausa.org/.
