Students and ensembles in the Elkhart County ECoSistema program will present their winter concert in Sauder Concert Hall. This concert is free and open to the public.
ECoSistema stands for Elkhart County El Sistema, and is our county’s very own El Sistema-inspired program! Since 2009, community partners have been working together to bring the mission of community-building, access, and excellence through music to Elkhart County.
El Sistema is a community music and youth development program that began in Venezuela in 1975. It was founded by Dr. Jose Antonio Abreu to become the national model of music education in Venezuela, granting millions of young people access to quality music programming. Since then, the El Sistema philosophy of music education has spread throughout the world as a music education model that promotes community-building, empowerment, excellence, and access – in the words of Dr. Abreu, El Sistema is about “music for social change.”
