BRAVO Youth Orchestra

Oregon BRAVO Youth Orchestras

Based on the groundbreaking El Sistema program begun in Venezuela fifty years ago, BRAVO’s motto is Social Change Through Music.  BRAVO provides free musical instruments and instruction to youngsters from some of Portland’s poorest schools – introducing classical music to youngsters who might otherwise never have the opportunity.  In addition to learning skills such as concentration, self discipline, collaboration and communication, they have the life-changing experience of discovering their own creativity and abilities. BRAVO now serves seven schools in North Portland including Elementary, Middle and High Schools.
