On Sunday, September 21st at Atria Rye Brook, we will be hosting a fundraiser for a music education program for underprivileged youth. This program, and many like it, have had profound impacts on children’s lives and communities around the world. “El Sistema” or “The System” is a program that originated in Venezuela to introduce impoverished youth to the study of classical music. The effects were tremendous and revitalized whole communities. This type of program has spread throughout the world, changing the lives of thousands of children.
The official event Facebook page is here.
All donations (admission tickets, raffle tickets, and bake/craft sale) will go directly to Ang Misyon, an El Sistema group in the Philippines. Your donation will aid the under-privileged young musicians all over the Philippines who are pursing musical careers or simply better lives. Please see their most recent video:
