In the Aburra Valley, 120 young women (aged fourteen to nineteen) face a critical gap of institutional abandonment. Having outgrown the age of children's choral programs, they lack initiatives that guarantee the continuity of their training. "Voices that Transform" is designed to close that gap.By participating in choral activities, young women gain self-esteem and discover the irreplaceable value of their own voice. A women's choir functions as a psychosocial support network.
In Medellin, 120 young women (aged fourteen to nineteen) face a critical gap of institutional abandonment. Having outgrown the age of children's choral programs, they lack initiatives that guarantee the continuityof their training. The talent of these teenagers is dying under the weight of their families' economic survival and the absence of public policies that support artistic continuity. Interrupting their training is tantamount to handing them over to the risk factors of their environment.
Sirenaica employs its own methodology, developed over 25 years. This model merges artistic excellence with a non-negotiable social purpose. The teaching artists maintain an active presence in young women's communities and conduct weekly two-hour sessions that offer real opportunities for developing vocal talent, recognizing the physical body as the primary tool for sound and expression. A women's choir serves as a psychosocial support network and a safe place for women's development.
Today, our training artists come from the Sirenaica Foundation's choral programs, where they grew up and discovered the value of their talent. Those who have been involved with Sirenaica recognize its impact on their own lives, whether they are artists or not, as they developed important values that allowed them to believe in themselves and grow.
