GTCYS’ Harmony Program with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra

In October 2016, GTCYS launched Harmony, a new El Sistema-inspired music program in partnership with Riverview Elementary School on the West Side of St. Paul. Harmony started with 18 students in 3rd grade. Led by seasoned violin instructors and GTCYS conductors Barbara Flooding and Mary Sorlie, the program provides violins, group lessons, performance opportunities on the West Side and at GTCYS concerts, mentoring by GTCYS students, and transportation home after each session. Harmony will be featured in a special performance with The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.
