Sinfónica Azteca: Empowering Young Musicians Across Mexico, the Americas, and Beyond

Adrián Nájera-Coto, Sinfónica Azteca Project Manager, Orchestra of the Americas Group

10-01-2025

The story of Sinfónica Azteca begins about five years ago, when the world was just beginning to reemerge from the COVID-19 pandemic. Across the globe, music programs and youth orchestras were struggling to survive. The need to restore trust in live music and reignite enthusiasm among young musicians had never been greater.

In Mexico, this posed a double challenge, since we had always lacked a national youth orchestra capable of uniting the country’s young musicians in high-caliber, immersive artistic experiences.

A Space to Be: What One Classroom Taught Me about Art, Listening, and Inclusion

Giovanni Acquilino, 2025 Cohort Member, Global Leaders Institute

09-03-2025

This was a Mus-e session at a public primary school in Genova, Italy, in a room filled with light, nervous energy and about 20 children in motion. Some moved eagerly. Some hung back. Some followed Olivia Giovannini, the teaching artist leading the session. Others wandered in their own rhythm. Throughout it all, something subtle was happening: no one was being excluded. 

In Oregon, a More Neighborly Approach Brings Joy

Neal Spinler, Executive Director, BRAVO Youth Orchestras

09-03-2025

The majority of the population is in Portland, at the northern border, with most everybody else residing along the “I5 Corridor”—Interstate 5, a major north-south highway that runs from Portland to California. BRAVO serves a region at the very northern tip of Portland; JOY serves students in Yamhill County. North Portland is a diverse blue-collar area with shipyards, warehouses, and port terminals; Yamhill County is the heart of Oregon’s famed Willamette Valley, a region known best for its fabulous wineries. But while the county boasts fancy vineyards and tasting rooms, it is also filled with farms and the hardworking farmhands and families.

Just 46 miles apart, our landscapes could not be more different. And yet the work we do could not be more aligned.

Rehearsing Community for a Better Tomorrow

Gabrielle Molina, Executive Director, Project Music; Lead Program Consultant, El Sistema USA

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.

In Chicago, One Piece of Music Brings a City Together

Christine Taylor Conda, Executive Director of Education & Community Engagement, Ravinia Festival

06-04-2025

During the two magical years I spent in Jamaica as a child, my aunt would visit our house every Thursday evening after work. I remember our family spending dinnertime on orange pleather cushions, listening to broadcaster Leonie Forbes recite poetry on the radio as classical music played in the background. 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.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE
The Courage to Create: Helping Students Sing through Fear

Meagan Mayne, Founder, Meagan Mayne Voice Studio

06-04-2025

Singing (really, any artistic act) is an act of vulnerability. Your voice is you—your breath, your body, your emotions, your story. When you sing, you offer all of that up; even after a lifetime of performing, I still feel that fear when I step on stage.

If performing can be scary for us educators, how much scarier must it be for teen students still discovering their identity—for whom “fitting in” can feel like the most important thing?

Agentes del cambio

Loukia Lazarou, artista docente y directora de proyectos, Sistema Chipre

La idea de acoger a voluntarios tenía dos propósitos: por un lado, el personal adicional sería una ayuda inmensa para nuestra organización y, por otro, proporcionarían a nuestros estudiantes jóvenes modelos de conducta, especialmente importantes para los que proceden de entornos vulnerables. Queríamos crear una estructura que fomentara el liderazgo, la responsabilidad social y el intercambio cultural, tanto para los jóvenes de nuestra orquesta como para los voluntarios.

Encuentro Regional de la Costa Oeste de El Sistema USA 2025

Patrick Scafidi, Editor Ejecutivo, The Ensemble

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.

Cuarenta años de inclusión radical: Lo que podemos aprender de Lavender Light

Eric Williamson, Director Artístico, Lavender Light Choir; Profesor Adjunto, New York University Steinhart School; Profesor de Música General, P.S. 32 en Brooklyn, NY, EE.UU.

05-07-2025

Cuando oye la expresión "cambio social a través de la música", ¿qué le viene a la mente? Para muchos en nuestro campo, significa conjuntos de estudiantes de música que aprenden a tocar y cantar juntos.

A veces, sin embargo, puede significar que personas de todas las edades se reúnan y forjen nuevas comunidades de pertenencia a través de la música. Esa es la naturaleza de mi organización Lavender Light, en Nueva York.
