Transforming children's lives through music

Dear Global Givers,

As we embark on the 8th academic year of El Sistema Greece, we are continually inspired by the passion and dedication of our students during the last years.

Today, we are thrilled to share with you the story of one of our remarkable students, Alesio. Alesio is one of our most dedicated students, he is from Albania and he is 18 years old. Alesio's musical journey started five years ago when he first joined our French horn classes here at El Sistema Greece. This was Alesio’s first contact with the world of music. Through his commitment and the guidance of his teacher, Alesio has not only joined the El Sistema Greece Youth Orchestra but has also become a member of our Young Leaders Program.

In the year 2023, Alesio led the collective effort of the Young Leaders team to organize their own event: a concert for the El Sistema Greece Summer Camp. His peers, recognizing his exceptional talents and leadership qualities, selected him as the head of their team for this project. Alesio's responsibilities encompassed every facet of the production, from composing new pieces to coordinating the logistics and ultimately directing the concert. On the day of the concert Alesio, as a real maestro, guided the orchestra towards a resounding success. 

We are very proud of our students who are empowered and inspired to explore new aspects of the world of music and create their own projects. Alesio is one of them who as a real team player worked to create a collective effort towards social development.

Alesio's journey is a testament to the transformative power of music and the empowerment of our students. We are immensely proud of his achievements and look forward to witnessing the continued growth and success of all our young talents.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support as we continue focused on our mission to promote the social development of children through music.

With great appreciation,

Friends of El Sistema Greece
