Education and Community Engagement: Boston String Academy

Boston String Academy (BSA) is a non-profit organization, inspired by the Venezuelan El Sistema model which believes in music as a vehicle for social change. They provide rigorous string instrument instruction to children in under-served communities, laying a solid musical foundation for young people to become sensitive, responsible, and creative human beings. Their program makes mastery of a string instrument reachable by eliminating obstacles that stand in an inner-city family’s way.
