Harmony South Dakota

Forty-three years ago in a parking garage in Caracas, Venezuela, El Sistema was born when Dr. Jos Antonio Abreu gathered together 11 children to play music. The program now teaches music to over 350,000 of Venezuela s poorest children, demonstrating the power of ensemble music to dramatically change the life trajectory of a nation s youth while transforming the communities around them. El Sistema is now a movement, inspiring model programs around the world. Harmony South Dakota is bringing the transformational power of El Sistema to Sioux Falls!
