KUNC-FM

El Sistema Colorado only launched two months ago at Garden Place Academy but there’s already a story to tell and the public radio affiliate in Greeley, Colorado, KUNC-FM, is telling it.

KUNC-FM featured El Sistema Colorado on NPR’s Morning Edition for March 15th. The story ran in both the 6am and 8am hours!  Hear the story at kunc.org.

Recently, third-grade participants in the El Sistema Colorado program at Garden Place Academy received violins, thanks to a generous donation from Colorado Public Radio. Below are some pictures documenting the first moments after the kids received their instruments. The pictures say it all.
