Fundraising Concert Postponed due to Pope's Visit!

Due to Pope Francis' visit to Kenya this week, we have moved our fundraising concert from Thursday the 26th to Monday the 30th. Same time (6:30pm), same location (International School of Kenya). Bring your friends and enjoy some good food, great string quartet music, and a talk about El Sistema! If you can't make it, please do share our poster and concert information with those you know who may be interested. Also, the entry fee is a "suggested donation." You may donate any amount you would like to this wonderful cause!

El Sistema Kenya article published in Finland

Henrica, our double bass guest from Finland in June, wrote a very nice article about music in Kenya which was published in Finland.  Once we get an English translation we will update this page!

Thank you, Kazuha!

Many thanks to Kazuha for the generous gift of a violin to the students! We have grown so much in less than one year!
