Dear friends and supporters,
As we begin our Holiday Season 2025 Giving Campaign, we are thrilled to share some incredible news: Sistema Cyprus has been selected as one of the three winners of the Pompidou Group Prevention Prize 2025, awarded by the Pompidou Group of the Council of Europe.
This prestigious European recognition honours projects that make a real difference in social inclusion and prevention. The jury described Sistema Cyprus as “an inspiring and highly creative initiative” that uses music as a universal and therapeutic tool to create safe, empowering spaces for children and young people.
We dedicate this award to our students, teachers, families, supporters, and partners — everyone who believes in the power of music to transform lives.
Give the Gift of Music This Holiday Season
Every week, more than 200 young musicians come together at Sistema Cyprus to learn, rehearse, and grow in a supportive musical community.
Your contribution helps us provide:
- weekly lessons
- instruments and accessories
- rehearsals
- performance opportunities
Thanks to your support, our programme remains accessible and meaningful for every child who wishes to be part of it.
Why Your Support Matters
As we look toward 2026, sustaining and expanding our programme is essential. Your holiday donation helps us continue this important work and ensures that our young musicians can keep learning, growing, and shining through music.
