Sistema's program is serving roughly 250 students from Centennial, Hazen White Saint Francis, Millidgeville North, Prince Charles, Princess Elizabeth, and Saint John the Baptist-King Edward schools in the Saint John area. The Sistema NB Saint John Centre operates in partnership with Anglophone South School District. 

Sistema NB has demonstrated the possibility of transformational social change through music and the orchestra. They have proven that great art is for everyone and that it has the power to improve the lives of children and their families and enhance our society. They have also shown that for children, an orchestra means joy, motivation, discipline, teamwork - that it builds confidence and self-esteem and that it is incredibly fun. 

Calvary Temple Church is so pleased to partner with this very worthwhile organization in our community.

Let’s gather for this concert event to help further change lives!
