No one achieves anything alone. The strength of our community is built on the backs of hundreds of people — big and small.

Every Gift has an impact

We're made rich by our family of dedicated, passionate teaching artists and support staff who mentor curious, creative young minds from a place of love and respect. We're grateful for the trust our families put in us to help shape these young lives. We're encouraged and supported by our strong partnerships with foundations, art councils, and school leaders that allow us to provide dynamic music education to more children than ever before. We're inspired by our teaching colleagues, both at our partner schools and in the broader El Sistema community, to set higher goals for the children we work with every day. More than anything, we're grateful for your support.

THE STRING ARCADE: VIDEO GAME MUSIC FOR STRING QUARTET

The String Arcade is a well-curated collection of music arranged for string quartet by Dren McDonald (Ghost Recon Commander, Ravenwood Fair) and Jason Poss (Lord of the Rings film trilogy, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King). The arrangements go far beyond chamber music emulations of the original themes, with each piece creatively interpreted, embellished, and re-imagined to capture emotions evoked by the games. Read more
