Founded on the idea that personal transformation can be achieved by striving towards musical excellence, MYCincinnati offers children in Price Hill the opportunity to learn violin, viola or cello and play in an orchestra.
MYCincinnati is inspired by “El Sistema,” Venezuela’s revolutionary youth orchestra program that uses music as a vehicle for social change.
