Social Change Through Music
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. 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. Join us after the concert for our Jubilee Gala featuring Venezuelan delights, guest artists and paddle raise. Plus check out our exciting raffle items!
