"Spreading music, changing lives"

We believe that the Arts can enlighten inspire and transform. We believe in Universal Access to Music, Art, Culture, Education and Community. We believe that volunteerism is the highest form of giving back to community. We believe that we all have a personal responsibility to foster inclusivity, diversity and equity.

We present excellence in performance and create revolutionary arts programs to build better communities. To do this, we are brave, rebellious, justice seeking and innovative.

A caring community takes care of and educates its children, particularly those at-risk. The El Sistema Aeolian program (now 13 years old) is part of a global movement that offers free universal access to an intensive collaborative music education program. 

If you are looking to support an organization that cultivates the arts, promotes community, has unique arts education programs, believes in diversity and supports programs for children and youth, do we have an opportunity for you!
