Sistema NB is making a difference through music



"What could New Brunswick and Canada learn from the barrios of poverty-stricken Venezuela about social change... and music? Well, a week ago the NBYO launched Sistema NB, a program aimed at inspiring children to achieve their full potential, to impact their lives and society through music. Sistema NB is a New Brunswick and Canadian first and next month, a prototype centre will open in Moncton... stay tuned for more information. On the Sistema NB site, be sure to see the movie of the Caracas, Venezuela visit (produced by Hemmings House Pictures) and the great branding done by our friends at Razor Creative. Outstanding!"

- NBYO President Ken MacLeod

The New Brunswick Youth Orchestra is doing a lot of great and wonderful things, the launch of Sistema NB is just another fantastic example. Hats off the Ken MacLeod, Don Matheson, David Hawkins and the team from the NBYO who have brought this program to Canada and New Brunswick. The New Brunswick Youth Orchestra hopes to change children's lives through music and we hope the new Brand Identity, Website and Promotional Material we developed helps them achieve this very worthy goal.
