El Sistema USA

To support and grow a nationwide movement of programs inspired by El Sistema to effect social change through music for children with the fewest resources and the greatest need.

At El Sistema USA® we believe that “El Sistema” is more than a philosophy; it’s a conversation. 

We believe that El Sistema is an on-going inquiry into the most effective ways to achieve the youth development goals that we all share through the rigors and rewards of orchestral music instruction. 

We have much to learn from one another as we pursue success, and we are smarter together than we are alone.
