Sistema Lombardía

Imagine choosing—on purpose—to stop. To give yourself a moment of attention and ask, without judgment, a simple question: “Why do I do this work?” It’s a small exercise of meditation and self-awareness that we rarely find time for in our noisy daily routine. And yet, in that brief pause, something can appear: a spark that feeds the question, gives it space, and makes it louder.

For me, Fire Up! 2025 in Athens—a four-day teaching artist residency led by the Academy for Impact through Music (AIM)—was that spark. 

El programa SONG en Milán, Italia (con su expresivo acrónimo, que designa Sistema Orchestre e cori / Nuclei Giovanili e infantile) comenzó en 2011, y se centra en acoger a niños con necesidades especiales en sus objetivos principales de integración a través de la educación musical de conjunto.
