About Musicians Bridge:
Musicians Bridge connects musicians and organizations working to let poor children in Bolivia learn to play instruments and develop through music.
MB started in 2008 when 11 Norwegian musicians - through
Strømme Foundation - was invited to play at the 7th Baroque Music Festival in Santa Ana, far into the Chiquitos district in the Bolivian jungle.
At the end of the 17th century, European Jesuit missionaries brought the baroque music to the jungle of the Amazon. They brought sheets of music and instruments and taught the Indians how to play, compose and make new instruments. The historical circumstances changed, and the know-how was forgotten - at least almost. Now the tradition has been rediscovered. Today it is lifted up as a national treasure and forms the foundation of a national music school movement: SICOR (Sistema de Coros y Orquestas). Today SICOR consists of 18 choirs and orchestras. Leader is the violinist Rubén Darío Suárez Arana. The project is inspired by the Venezuela model.
Our experiences with SICOR and the children in Bolivia have influenced our lifes and we want to help Strømme Foundation og SICOR in their work. This made us start Musicians Bridge, a non-commercial organization collecting and sending instruments to the orchestras SICOR runs in Santa Cruz and in the Chiquitania district.
Still at an early stage, Musicians Bridge has already given the first instruments to Strømme Foundation and SICOR, and summer 2009 two children from Bolivia participated at the Valdres Sommersymfoni in Fagernes, Norway.
Our hope is to achive an exchange of knowledge and culture between Bolivia and the Nordic countries, and we believe our colleague musicians will share the same fantastic experiences we had, both in direct work with the children in Bolivia and by giving instruments to SICOR's orchestras.
