El Sistema School WHIN Expands Charter

The U.S.’s WHIN Music Community Charter School, the country’s first school to be designed and founded on El Sistema principles (and one of the few such Sistema-centric schools anywhere), has renewed their charter for five years—expanding to a new middle school this September. WHIN has served hundreds of students and families in New York since 2012; if you’re interested in learning more about WHIN’s history and approach, check out this 2019 Ensemble article from WHIN Executive Director Charles Ortiz.
