Violin Instructor, Sistema Ravinia Lawndale

Ravinia is both North America’s longest-running music festival and its most artistically diverse. Over 100 different events by a mix of classical, rock, pop, jazz, R&B, indie, and country performers make up a typical summer season on our two open-air and two indoor stages. Each year the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is featured in six weeks of concerts, many with Chief Conductor Marin Alsop. During the same summer months, the Ravinia Steans Music Institute provides young professional classical and jazz musicians with career-advancing training and concert settings. Offstage and year-round, Ravinia’s Reach Teach Play education programs engage 75,000 children and adults—in schools with little to no music curriculum, in our Chicagoland communities, and at our 36-acre park—in our mission to make music equitably accessible to all.

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 after school 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.
