VOZES is a school of life for more than 500 children in Barcelona, in the Nou barris, Sant Andreu ans Besòs districts, and since the end of 2015 also in Madrid, in Vallecas and Carabanchel.
Born in 2005, VOZES is a music-social project that works with children and teenagers who cannot access musical practice, and through it, we offered them an opportunity to wholly integrate themselves socially, without renouncing to the quality and the engagement that this type of practice requires.
Inspired by the Venezuelan national system of children and youth orchestras and choirs, the VOZES project is led by Pablo Gonzalez, and advantaged student of this system. During its beginnings, the project worked through a children choir, but throughout the years, VOZES has created a structure of different formats of symphonic orchestras, choirs and batucadas.
VOZES offers access to musical training and instruments for free to kids from 3 years old onwards without an age limit, through 16 VOZES´ spaces, among them state schools, high schools, social centres and neighbourhood associations… The work is done using music as the main channel for social and intellectual improvement, obtaining results on children and teenagers beyond those purely musical (improvements in personal competences, school performance, family life quality…).
