- El Sistema means community through song and music, says Birgitta Jonsson who is project coordinator in Örebro.
On Wednesday morning, the details for the evening's concert were honed, as the children's families will make up a large part of the audience.
Something that can be annoying - and then it's good to have a strategy.
- I usually think that the audience is paper men watching, says Eyeh Dabboussi from Hagaskolan's class 2B.
Came to Örebro in 2015
The Venezuelan-born conductor, composer and economist José Antonio Abreu created El Sistema with the vision of creating a better life for Venezuela's children, using the forms of classical music.
He was awarded the Polar Prize in 2009. The following year, the concept was introduced in Sweden and in Örebro, Kulturskolan has worked for seven years according to the model.
- It started as a social investment project by the municipality and the politicians decided to do it in Oxhagen which was a bit forgotten.
A colleague and I started up and sang with toddlers.
All teaching takes place during school hours, is compulsory and the purpose from the beginning was for the children to take part in what Örebro has to do with singing and music.
Today we work at Hagaskolan with string orchestra and choir.
In Brickebacken we have a wind orchestra and choir, says Birgitta Jonsson.
Hope for a better future
In addition to choral singing, there is the opportunity for the children to have an orchestra friend and to learn to play classical instruments as adults.
Regular meetings also take place with the children's families.
- It's fun to be here and it's cozy, says Lidiya Simon from 2B Hagaskolan.
- I hope that this will really be able to give these children a great future with music as a means and as a joy in life.
If there are then musicians by some, it is also fantastic, says Birgitta Jonsson.
