After the LA Take A Stand conference, I was very keen to pursue the idea of collaborative creativity in bringing communities together. The guardian angels at the Sistema Fellows program office made it possible for 5 of us to participate in this year's week-long Creative Connections course in Baltimore. This project has been going for a while and I think this year was the sixth time that graduates of the Guidhall School in London had facilitiated this course with Orchkids and Peabody Conservatory students.
Here is a video from a previous project:

All the members of the 'creative leadership team' are graduates of the Masters in Leadership course at the Guildhall School of Music and Dance in London. They are all involved in working with various members of the community in creative projects and also have their own ensembles that they compose, record and perform with:
