VIOLA AROUND THE WORLD

A world tour, with a viola, to meet El Sistema programs

ONE VIOLA
around the world

22 COUNTRIES
crossed

20,000 KM (12,500 MILES)
by train

HUNDREDS OF MEETINGS
with kids from disadvantaged areas helped by El Sistema, musicians, local people, etc.

The philosophy of the project

From my solo trips, I get the taste to discover the world and its population. The desire to share and interact with others is my guideline for this trip, and the viola is an obvious way to get in touch easily with others. In a world where we sometimes forget that happiness is made of small things, I meet women and men who, through music, help others. In particular, I meet the El Sistema associations that help children, thanks to music. In addition, public transport, and in particular the train, is privileged as much as possible.

Concrete actions during the trip

  1. Go into schools, especially from disadvantaged areas, to meet kids helped by El Sistema. Thanks to a partnership with El Sistema France, I can easily meet all those associations.
  2. Discover artists (from the streets, or local artists) and write about them on this blog
  3. Make short videos to presents all the El Sistema associations and artists I meet
  4. Use as much as possible public transports (especially trains and undergrounds) to limit my carbon footprint

Some trains I use
