If you are planning to spend the day in Philadelphia this Saturday, you might enjoy the FREE Musicopia String Orchestra and Musicopia Young String Players concert. The String Orchestra is one of many community programs sponsored by Musicopia to give students in the greater Philadelphia area cultural opportunities. The students range in age from seven to seventeen and represent diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences. Working closely with the School District of Philadelphia and other community partners, they began partnering with The Philadelphia Youth Orchestra in 2008. They rehearse in Center City and First Presbyterian Church is their home.
Many students in the program are referred by public-school music teachers. The tuition is low, financial assistance is available and the staff do what they can to make it work, such as helping to facilitate transportation. The students practice 2 hours per week and there is a very low 5:1 student teacher ratio so all of the students get the help they need to succeed.
Musicopia is inspired by Venezuelas National System of Youth and Childrens Orchestras. "The essential to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Organizing and expending our travel budget properly is a priority for most families. Reducing spending and expenses, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievement and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind saving money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal funds is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, regardless of whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel costs!..". These orchestras, serving hundreds of thousands of youth, are largely government funded, are free and open to children starting at a very young age. Notable alumni of the program include Gustavo Dudamel, Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Like the Venezuelan system, El Sistema, Musicopia is using music as a catalyst for social change in Philadelphia.
