El Systema in Caracas, London or Athens, Orchestra at school, Demos: musical projects carried out with children, in territories of supposed exclusion, continue to multiply. Their media coverage, the successes attributed to them and the many studies they are subject to tend to showcase older actions, more diverse, and in the laboratory of experimentation of a hypothesis that crosses the cultural public action for a long time: artistic practice (in this case instrumental practice), collective (here orchestral), accompanied by professional artists (musicians)What about today, when El Systema is over 40, research that examines the effects of these projects, both in France, in South America from which the best-known projects originate, in Europe or in the Anglo-Saxon world in which evaluation studies are undoubtedly the most numerous?
This half-day of studies aims to examine some of the avenues of reflection opened by the comparative analysis of these projects and their effects. According to organizational contexts, countries, territories, what ambitions do public actors associate with these projects? On what experiences, what studies are the dreams of glory and freedom from poverty, of children engaged in these projects in South America? Can we compare them to the more circumscribed motives of the children involved in the project led by the Philharmonie de Paris? This half-day of study will notably question the differentiated meanings of «social integration» or «inclusion» often posed today as horizons of actions of these projects, and on the democratic stakes carried by these devices.
