In Oregon, a More Neighborly Approach Brings Joy

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.

Patagonia’s Huilo Huilo Festival Blends Musical Excellence with Social Impact

07-09-2025

In the heart of Chilean Patagonia, the strings of a violin resonate deep within the temperate forest. Birds sing in harmony with the refined sounds of bows gliding over the strings; leaves whisper centuries-old stories. The Huilo Huilo Biological Reserve, where endangered species are protected, also embraces a group of young musicians—along with their mentors, who are string principals in the Brussels Philharmonic—during daily rehearsals and performances. It’s an inspiring fusion of human artistry and Patagonian majesty.

Child’s Play India’s Glass is Half-Full, Half-Empty

07-09-2025

Unlike more privileged settings, we could not make the switch to online teaching; we did try it, but most of our children did not have their own phones, and there were other issues, such as out of tune instruments, strings broken, and instruments outgrown. When the lockdown eventually lifted, many of our children had moved out of area or progressed to higher mainstream education which took them away from music lessons, either geographically or in terms of available time. We have had to start over, with new groups of children for violin and cello.

But there is also good news to balance things out.

EDITORIAL
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.

La Iniciativa Reina del Paraíso: Una experiencia que cambia la vida en Vanimo, Papúa Nueva Guinea

05-07-2025

Una de las experiencias más memorables de mi estancia en Vanimo fue ayudar a los estudiantes a preparar la música para una ocasión verdaderamente especial: la visita, el pasado agosto, del Papa Francisco. Con solo tres semanas para prepararse, los estudiantes fueron capaces de montar tanto un concierto completamente grabado para el Santo Padre como algunas piezas en directo para su visita a los Padres del IVE en Baro.

Un nuevo centro internacional para la reconciliación a través de las artes

04-02-2025

Pocos estarían en desacuerdo con que imaginar y construir algo bueno para la humanidad, en un lugar donde se ha causado un enorme daño, es un acto creativo. Por ello, la finalización de la Ensemble House en Srebrenica (Bosnia y Herzegovina) puede considerarse uno de los grandes triunfos creativos del mundo en los últimos años.
