“Music has helped me in a lot of ways. It has helped me make new friends, meet new people and connect with them (...) I can’t see myself doing anything else but music! If music wasn’t in my life, I wouldn’t be who I am and it has helped me see who I am today as a person.”

ESC Parent

“Without El Sistema, my daughter wouldn’t have been able to attend violin lessons. To me, El Sistema provides a once-in-a-life opportunity to learn how to play an instrument at no cost. I wish I had come across their program in my childhood.”
