About Us
We are a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) status, founded in 2023 by Magister Ivette Carolina Ferreira. This project is deeply inspired by the renowned Venezuelan National System of Children and Youth Orchestras and is currently supported by a team of professionals committed to the social development of children, their families, and communities.
Through the collective practice of music, we are generating orchestras and symphonic choirs with children and youth ages between two (2) and 18 years old. Our students discover the element of music and, through it, the highest of social and life values, such as concentration, teamwork, solidarity, leadership, mutual respect, and responsibility, among others.
