We are honored to have received a ‘Grant for Arts Project’ from the National Endowment for the Arts for a project in collaboration with El Sistema USA® (ESUSA)! This project commissioned HHS artists Faye Chiao, Dom Jones, Morley and Madeline Myers to arrange their songs for El Sistema USA® affiliate youth ensembles including Intempo, Junea Alaska Music Matters, Make Music Nola and Sistema Utah.
These collaborations not only provided youth ensembles with new music from the Hear Her Song canon, but also provide professional opportunities for our composers, and expose youth to music of modern female composers that highlights stories of women leadership. Furthermore, these composers represent divergent musical styles and identity backgrounds, inviting a dialogue that fosters mutual respect for the diverse beliefs and values of all persons and groups. We are thrilled to share their performances below!
