Sistema Side by Side Orchestra performs Jean Sibelius: Finlandia

The Sistema Side by Side Orchestra is part of Longy School of Music of Bard College’s newest music initiative, which places the mentoring of young musicians at its core. Throughout the year, Longy conservatory students mentor students from El Sistema–inspired programs across Massachusetts, and intensive weekend rehearsals give them the opportunity to deepen their musical skills, meet new faces and make new friends. Students from Dorchester meet students from Pittsfield, and students from Somerville interact with students from Hyde Park. In the process of rehearsing together, they learn that hard work and dedication can open doors to new opportunities for themselves—opportunities like this one, performing as part of a celebration to honor Maestro José Antonio Abreu. Longy is a conservatory with a social imperative—we see musicians as agents of change. We prepare our conservatory students for a life in music in which they see themselves as mentors and artists, as deeply committed to community engagement as they are to their own art. We find fulfilling roles for our students in the community, in public schools, and in El Sistema–inspired programs throughout the greater Boston and Cambridge area. Again and again, we see conservatory students transformed by their experiences in the community, redefining for themselves what it means to lead a meaningful life in music.
