Rehearsing Community for a Better Tomorrow

07-09-2025

As Executive Director Liz Moulthrop remarked during El Sistema USA’s East Coast Regional Gathering, “Community is our power.” Yet too often programs operate in isolation, brilliant islands of musical striving that rarely connect with the broader archipelago of creative youth development work happening across the world. This siloing, while understandable given resource constraints and logistical challenges, represents a missed opportunity to address our urgent need for unity.

In fact, we must double down on gathering. The practice of community.

Reggae Roots at Sistema Toronto – Jane Finch

06-04-2025

Working in this field has shown us how a diverse, inclusive curriculum can activate a student’s passion and sense of self. At Sistema Toronto, our goal is to have repertoires that represent our students and the communities they live in. With that in mind, Sistema Toronto invited Juno-nominated reggae artist Jah’Mila to work with students at our Jane Finch Centre this March as part of a months-long exploration of reggae music titled Reggae Roots. Our students spent January and February preparing for three days of workshops led by Jah’Mila and a culminating concert.

In Chicago, One Piece of Music Brings a City Together

That dinner table is where I first fell in love with Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, and my family still talks about those Thursday nights we spent together.

Now, as Ravinia searches for inventive ways to reinvigorate interest in great musical works, those Thursday evenings come to mind.

Encuentro Regional de la Costa Oeste de El Sistema USA 2025

05-07-2025

En este tipo de actos, es fácil pensar que la palabra "comunidad" se refiere a las personas que hay en la sala. Pero el ingenioso truco de El Sistema USA fue invertir esa idea. En lugar de celebrar nuestra En lugar de celebrar nuestra comunidad profesional -los vínculos que establecemos con nuestros colegas-, el equipo directivo de ESUSA exploró los lazos que nos unen a comunidades más amplias y diversas: de familias, de activistas, de científicos, de legisladores y de la gente a la que los legisladores tienden a ignorar.
