Sistema Europe reports that their Erasmus+ KA153 project “Music and Social Action in Europe: Practices in Exchange” has officially been approved.

Congratulations to two students from Sistema Cyprus.

When we first designed the Dream Orchestra in 2010, we saw “isolation” as one of the most urgent conditions in children’s lives. At the time, the intensity of college entrance competition had already reached elementary school, and many children were being pushed into highly competitive, lonely environments.

Fifteen years later, children’s lives have not become easier. They remain caught in the competitive trap of the education system while social and economic inequality continues to deepen their vulnerability. Declining physical and mental wellbeing, weakened community ties, and the replacement of direct relationships with media-based activities have also left them increasingly disconnected.

For nine years, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in Athens, Greece—in partnership with El Sistema Greece and New York’s Carnegie Hall—has presented works from The Lullaby Project, in which people with diverse experiences work with composers and songwriters to transform personal stories about relationships with children into original musical works.

Sistema Toronto’s students engaged in a term-long composition project with award-winning composer Aaron Manswell and the Nathaniel Dett Chorale (NDC).

Carnegie Hall has launched Rhythm Explorer, a free interactive music game where kids can play along with songs from diverse musical traditions.

Participating in the arts adds years to your life—you may have heard that before, but now scientific data proves it.

The FIFA World Cup is the world’s most watched and celebrated sporting event, and Atlanta, Georgia, will host three of the tournament’s matches this year.

On May 30, Ohio will join two other U.S. states (Colorado and Arkansas) in starting a statewide instrument-donation program, sponsored by a number of collaborating music education organizations and a lot of volunteers.

Creative Capital for Artists is a free resource that announces, grants, residencies, and award opportunities for artists in all disciplines.
