Perspectives on El Sistema has been prepared by the 2014 Class of Sistema Fellows at New England Conservatory following our month-long residency in Venezuela in November-December 2013.
It has been specifically written in response to a request from Dr. Jose Antonio Abreu for the Sistema Fellows Program to provide El Sistema with thoughts and reflections on our expectations prior to our trip, and our time observing and working with the program.
As curious and committed learners in the expanding field of El Sistema, we feel it is our responsibility to share our learning with all educators dedicated to social justice through the arts. Herein we offer a glimpse of our collective insight, immersed in the Venezuelan tradition, as a possible resource to others in this field. In addition, it expresses our ambitions to use these considerations in our future work.
We are eager to present this paper as a token of our great esteem for Dr. Abreu and the immense generosity and kindness we experienced in gaining unparalleled access to El Sistema in Venezuela. We hope our collective voices can reflect our deep appreciation for having been so warmly embraced by the El Sistema family.
