I am very proud to announce a new corporate partnership between El Sistema Global and Rozanna’s Violins. This corporate partnership allows Sistema-inspired programs registered in ESG’s El Sistema programs worldwide directory (those programs that are ESG Program Directory Members) to access a 20% discount on the purchase of any instrument from Rozanna’s Violins.
We are particularly excited to announce this partnership because of the sincere commitment of Rozanna’s Violins to the El Sistema movement, our shared values and the cultural richness and diversity of our worldwide community. In Rozanna’s words:
“With social change as the heart of the Sistema Global initiative, this goal very much resonates with our own. Fostering a love of music with creative musical instruments a central themes or company. Fostering the highest values in music education is key for our company with the intent of nurturing a poetic heart in all children. By doing so we are confident those youth engaged in arts education and value creation will grow into human beings who can contribute to the world in the best way possible – whether through their art or more importantly- their behavior as human beings and world citizens.”
A percentage of your purchase will also be donated to Sistema Global to continue our work developing and supporting Sistema-inspired programs throughout the world.
This partnership is one of the new global corporate connections, as our organization enters its second stage of development. We look forward to sharing more news about our progress. Welcome Rozanna’s Violins!
