A note from our director, Mr. Hernandez:

"When our students rehearse and perform together in a symphony orchestra, I see potential. I see minds challenged and hearts engaged with cognitively and emotionally rich learning. I see young people from every walk of life coming together to play, to agree, to create something none of them could make alone. I see curiosity taking root, the love of music teaching them how to work hard, how to stay with something that matters. It is all contained in this universe of sound."

The Sistema Tulsa Big Concert is Friday, May 8th.
We hope you will join us!

Members of the Maranatha Sunday School Class Boston Avenue United Methodist Church recently hosted a beautiful Salon Concert on April 18, 2026, to support local church missions – with Sistema Tulsa highlighted throughout the evening.

We are especially grateful that two of our Sistema leaders, Jose Luis Hernandez (piano) and Kelsey Rooney-Dorst (flute), were featured as the evening’s artists. Their leadership shines just as brightly on stage as it does in the classroom.

Jose Luis opened with five Nocturnes by Chopin, followed by works by Debussy, Satie, and Piazzolla. The night concluded with a stunning flute and piano finale featuring music by Saint-Saëns and Fauré. Along the way, the audience learned about the history and evolving style of classical music in 19th- and 20th-century Paris. Bravo!
