The Bahia Orchestra Project is a pioneer initiative in Brazil modeled on the Venezuelan “El Sistema”. It was founded in 2007 by the Brazilian pianist and conductor Ricardo Castro, who remains its artistic and general director. Supported by the government of Bahia, . . . this orchestra is part of the long-term educational program NEOJIBA (Núcleos Estaduais de Orquestras Juvenis e Infantis da Bahia). Over the last couple of years it has been gaining acclaim in Europe for its engaging performances that consistently bring sold-out audiences in London, Berlin and Geneva to their feet. These amazing young musicians are transforming the lives of hundreds of children through their gift of teaching symphonic orchestra instruments. Everywhere they go, they win over new audiences with their exciting interpretations of traditional repertoire as well as contemporary music and live improvisation.
