Fortissimo Orchestra: An Opportunity for Young Musicians

The Fortissimo Orchestra Music Program  began January 2015 at Joli Ann Leichtag Elementary School in the San Marcos Unified School District. This program is modeled after the hugely successful and transformative program started over 35 years ago in Caracas, Venezuela, called El Sistema.  For more information on El Sistema in Venezuela, please view this short video from 60 Minutes.
