Information on El Sistema Youth Music Program in USA reposted by Ruth Paget

I read about the Venezuelan Symphony this morning that employs many graduates of its grass roots musical program called el sisters, which works through groups of nucleos throughout the country.  

Note: After playing, the nucleos go to neighborhood restaurants to eat.

This program exists in the US as well in 40 states.  I have reposted information about how this program works in the US below:
