Corona Youth Music Project (El Sistema)
The Corona Youth Music Project (CYMP or Núcleo Corona) aspires to transform this Queens neighborhood and inspire others by teaching music and thus empowering children to become agents of change.
Company Overview:
The Corona Youth Music Project (CYMP, or Núcleo Corona) is the first El Sistema inspired program in Queens, New York. It strives to serve its community and neighboring areas.
The project includes a tuition-free after-school program, and several intensive sessions (or “seminars”) for choral and instrumental ensembles throughout the year. The current after-school program is focused on a “pre-orchestra” program, consisting of a bucket band and, later in the spring, a recorder orchestra.
