Join us for a spectacular afternoon with BRAVO Youth Orchestras as we proudly present JUBILEE!, a concert showcasing all levels of our talented youth musicians. This event holds special significance as we also celebrate the 50th anniversary of El Sistema, the groundbreaking music education program from Venezuela that has transformed lives around the world and has been the inspiration for our own programming. Experience the transformative power of music as our young artists bring to life the enduring legacy of El Sistema, with a performance that promises to inspire and unite our community. We will also be joined by Oregon’s two other El Sistema inspired programs, JOY (Junior Orchestra of Yamhill County) and Play It Forward, making this a truly remarkable gathering of musical talent and the first time all three programs have shared the stage. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a celebration of music, passion, and the remarkable journey of Maestro José Antonio Abreu’s vision over the past five decades.
JUBILEE! is more than just a concert and celebration, it is also a spectacular fundraising event. Whether you choose to simply immerse yourself in the concert’s performances or elevate your experience by joining us at the post-concert gala, you are in for a treat like no other. The gala will be a celebration of flavors and festivity, offering delicious Venezuelan cuisine, complimentary beverages, and the heart-pounding excitement of a paddle raise. This is your chance to indulge in an afternoon of elegance and exuberance while supporting an inspiring cause. Come, be swept off your feet in this extraordinary afternoon of musical marvels and communal joy as we raise money for BRAVO and celebrate El Sistema!
