Join us in Houston. We’re gathering teaching artists, program directors, organizational leaders, students, and partners from across the ESUSA network for two days of learning, connection, and renewal. The symposium will focus on equity through the lens of youth leadership, alumni engagement, and community impact. In a shifting landscape, we are ever more committed to investing in these communities and centering our students’ voices, talents, and strengths.
This year, students are at the center of our gathering – intentionally so. We’re inviting young musicians from El Sistema USA programs across Texas to join us, to take up space – to rehearse openly throughout the symposium, to perform together in a finale concert, and to remind us all why we do this work.
Their presence will ground us. The sessions will guide us. Our community will inspire us.
