Papa Viola is in Glasgow!

Papa Viola, our resident cellist and teacher in training, is currently in Glasgow, Scotland, where she is representing Kenya on the cello with the Scokendia ensemble.  Scokendia is an ensemble which brings together young musicians from Scotland, Kenya and India to connect, perform and learn together for Culture 2014.  They feature some of the most talented young musicians from each country and is a great opportunity for one of our teachers to connect with musicians outside of Kenya.  You can read more about Scokendia here.

Music Stand Donation

During a visit to Long Island, NY, this summer, we received a wonderful donation from a very kind couple who gave 12 folding music stands to El Sistema Kenya.  This is our first music stand donation and will go a long ways towards supporting the beginnings of our project.  Asanteni sana!

If you are interested in donating instruments, supplies or funding to El Sistema Kenya, please contact us!
