Can music rehearsals take place in museums? Of course they can!

Can children and young people of different nationalities and background, who don’t speak the same language, form a well-tuned orchestra? Of course they can, because the international language of music brings them together!


On Sunday, June 19, the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation will host a rehearsal by the “Kypseli Orchestra”, which is part of El Sistema Greece, giving the opportunity to the public to enjoy its young musicians in action and get to know El Sistema’s music education programme.

The musicians of the “Kypseli Orchestra” will present their musical instruments and will demonstrate how an orchestra works, in their own unique way. They will reveal their preparation secrets and will share their love for music with the audience, thrilling you with their cheerful repertoire!

The El Sistema Greece (ESG) social inclusion music program offers free music education to children and young people in Greece, aiming to create a music-based community without discrimination and exclusion. According to El Sistema’s avant-garde music program, an orchestra provides the ideal environment for children to develop social and collaboration skills and become well-equipped for a better future, through art and creative interaction with other people.

*The Kypseli Orchestra is one of El Sistema Greece’s educational orchestras. It was founded in 2019 and features exclusively ESG students.

** This event is part of Culture is Athens, the three-year plan announced by the City of Athens, which aims to upgrade, highlight and integrate the cultural fabric of Athens but also practically support artists and employees of the cultural industry.

Music direction: Francis Gagliardi
