Ten years ago, when Upbeat New Hampshire (formerly Sinfonietta Strings) was formed, we were inspired by “El Sistema.” El Sistema began in Venezuela 40 years ago when Dr. Abreu created a model of how a music program can both create great musicians and dramatically change the life trajectory of thousands of children. El Sistema is a social change/youth development program that uses ensemble music to enable every child to experience being an asset within her or his community.
