CRASHENDO! East Gippsland is part of an international social change program providing intensive instrumental and choral group tuition resulting in life-enhancing experiences for children, families and the community.

We encourage the natural inclination of people to share and help each other learn. Our programs are socially and culturally inclusive, offering opportunities for regular performance and engagement with other ensembles.

El Sistema was founded by Maestro Jose Antonio Abreu, in Venezuela in 1975, with 11 students in an underground parking garage. Now, it serves an estimated one million children in at least sixty countries.
