Orchestrating Diversity
Orchestrating Diversity promotes the development of young people through music performance and education. Since 2008 Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center (LNAC) has been committed to the development of an El Sistema Program, an approach to social-change-through-music first employed in Venezuela in 1972. Our program, Orchestrating Diversity, brings discipline, confidence, and self-empowerment to underserved youth, through their participation in a proficient orchestra of their peers. Orchestrating Diversity is a FREE program which uses evidence-based practices – peer-teaching, accelerated teaching, placing the compositions within social and historic context, and forming a musical community – to reach students.
