Miramichi is the latest to offer Sistema, a program that focuses on teaching children to become a part of an orchestra, but it also teaches discipline and other values for them to be successful in life.
30 children will be involved in the program in Miramichi this year, starting in January. By year four, there are expected to be 80 children and youth.
To start it will be an all strings Orchestra with violins, viola, cello and bass.
CEO of the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra Ken MacLeod says the program has come a long way since it was launched in Moncton in 2009.
Sistema is offered in Saint John, Moncton, Richibucto, Edmunston, Tobique First Nation and now Miramichi.
