El Sistema Oklahoma is a non-profit 501(c)3 founded by Cathy and Phil Busey, St. Luke’s Methodist Church, and the Wanda L. Bass School of Music at Oklahoma City University through a creative partnership. El Sistema provides free music opportunities five days a week after school during the school year to students attending Oklahoma City Public Schools. We provide free snack and transportation, instruments, instrument repairs, and translation services. No audition is required so that our students have equitable music experiences. El Sistema is proud of empowering Oklahoma City youth through music for the last ten years!
