Educación musical inclusiva

Since the inception of the Sistema Europe Youth Orchestra in 2012, our international network has created SEYO summer camps every two or three years, bringing young people together from different countries for a week of rehearsing and performing together. It’s an exciting tradition!—and its only downside is the restlessness of the participating members…during the “off” years, when camps don’t take place. 

While our daily lives are rattled by increasing global instability, polarization, and apathy, culture workers working toward youth empowerment and social change share many of the same questions. How do we empower young people without transferring unreasonable responsibility? How do we equip and motivate while acknowledging legitimate, sometimes harsh realities? How do we facilitate interconnectedness, in times of global dehumanization?

En Bolivia está ocurriendo algo realmente nuevo en el panorama de la música clásica. En la última década ha surgido una nueva generación de entusiastas estudiantes y profesores de música bolivianos que están aumentando notablemente el tamaño del público boliviano de música clásica. Como resultado, las orquestas autogestionadas se han convertido en algo habitual no sólo en Cochabamba, sino en toda Bolivia.
