About the program
Sistema Ravinia is an intensive orchestral music education program that provides daily music training for students at two schools in the Lawndale community. Participating students meet daily throughout the year at their nucleo (program site) and are taught in sectionals and full orchestra. Shaped by the philosophy of the noted El Sistema model, Ravinia has embraced the notion of transforming groups of children into communities of musicians who in turn transform their communities. Students receive mentorship from teachers and administrators that make them feel loved and valued as an asset to their nucleo community.
Sistema Ravinia Lawndale launched in 2020 at Gregory Elementary and Frazier International Magnet. Students from Gregory Elementary learn band instruments and students from Frazier International Magnet learn string instruments. Students meet at their individual schools three to four days per week with several opportunities each year to combine with our other program sites in Austin and Lake County, rehearsing and performing as a full symphony orchestra. Sistema Ravinia Lawndale looks forward to continuing program growth and excellence as we welcome a new cohort of 4th/5th grade students each fall, providing music education through the 8th grade at their school.
