What could be more important than preparing talented musicians to become the community change-makers of tomorrow? What could be more exciting than achieving this mission in a way that allows participants to serve their home communities from grassroots programs in the most remote parts of the world? This is the multi-directional power of The Global Leaders Program (GLP). As someone who has seen first-hand what music education can do to transform lives in my home community of Jamaica, I could not be more proud to

serve as Chairman of the GLP Advisory Committee.

The report detailed in the following pages presents a glimpse of the 2017 Academic Year. It highlights the learning of the Cohort in our online classroom, taught by the greatest minds in a variety of pertinent fields, as well as the growth that happened on the ground through Fieldwork. The Global Leaders Program aspires to achieve what no other music initiative in the world does – to instill the tools of community development, social enterprise, and teaching artistry that allows world-class performers to dream big, and to build elephant DNA into their lives. I have no doubt that many of these emerging talents will someday be giants in the growing world of social development through music. As this year comes to a close, we look forward to the next – from our achievements and shortcomings in order to continue increasing the value the program offers to participants and communities.

Ambassador Nigel ClarkeChairman, Advisory Committee

The Global Leaders Program grows out of YOA Orchestra of the Americas as a mechanism for providing much needed professional training to top orchestral musicians, while assisting community music programs in the more than 30 countries since the program’s launch in 2012. As Chairman of YOA, we could not be more proud to serve as the lead institution behind the incredibly meaningful initiative that The Global Leaders Program represents. Thank you to all—in particular GLP lead financial partner the Hildegard Behrens

Foundation—whose belief, support, and hard work led to a successful 2017. We look forward to an even brighter future for the Program in 2018.

FIELDWORK

This year included 37 Field Assignments, 17 to new Field locations, empowering more than 1,500 local youth worldwide. All of this was made possible by $100,000+ in local Fieldwork investment. These are a few of the exciting numbers that speak to the depth, breadth, and impact of The Global Leaders Program on the ground through the 2017 Cohort.

What a thrill to welcome more than a dozen new Field Hosts in 2017, including Sonidos de la Tierra (Asuncion, Paraguay), Kidznotes (North Carolina, USA), Somos CaPAZes (Bogota, Colombia), and El Sistema Sweden (Gothenburg, Sweden), as well as activities with longtime Field Hosts Esperanza Azteca (Mexico), NEOJIBA (Brazil), and others. A particular highlight was the first Global Leaders Field Assignment in La Paz, Bolivia, hosted by The Plurinational Conservatory of Music. A team of five Cohort Members led an intense week of activities for hundreds of students and faculty of the conservatory. Another highlight from 2017 was a new Field Assignment to Gothenburg, Sweden, where a team of Cohort Members joined the Side-by-Side Festival. This large-scale project involves an orchestra of more than 2,000 children, supported by artists from the Gothenborg Symphony and Gustavo Dudamel as conductor.

Another important development in 2017 was the addition of Field Host Vive la Música in Panguipulli. Located in the heart of Chile’s Lake Region and surrounded by the Andes Mountains, Vive la Música hosted two Field Assignments, including the newly launched Otto Derolez String Festival.

The synergy created with Vive la Música has led to explanded collaborations in 2018, including what will be the first Full Cohort Residence in Panguipulli in January 2018. Over the course of a week on the ground, 35 Cohort Members will lead a variety of musical activities to further social advancement of the local community, while growing as a team and cultivating unique leadership skills.

A clear priority in 2017 was measuring Fieldwork impact on the ground, by building more comprehensive and efficient surveys to measure the outcome of Fieldwork for local students, regional stakeholders, and our own Cohort Members. The refinement of Impact Reports and Case Study assignments for all Fieldwork in 2017 helped not only enhance the learning experience for our own participants, but also offered valuable long-term insights and takeaways to the grassroots programs on the ground—thereby simultaneously serving both sets of core stakeholders of the Program.

FIELDWORK IMPACT ON LOCAL YOUTH WHAT HOSTS ARE SAYING ABOUT FIELDWORK

“I got lots of inspiration from Gabrielle Molina’s (USA, clarinet) classes. She has very profound thoughts about music. In each class, she would draw some metaphor on the board to demonstrate connections beween learning an instrument and other phenomenons in life. My students were very impressed by these thoughts and comparisons, and I will keep using them in my classes.

Arpegio Clarinet Teacher (Peru)

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING ABOUT FIELDWORK

“The opportunity of working with the directors, teachers, administrative team, and students gave me a better understanding of the behind-the-scenes work needed to develop a successful project.

ACADEMICS

2017 was a year of outstanding academic growth for The Global Leaders Program. For the first time, each of the 12 academic modules of the GLP curriculum was led by a professional, dedicated Module Director. This exposed 2017 Global Leaders to an unprecedented depth of instruction and insight. From nominating outstanding guest speakers to determining relevant preparatory readings and designing assignments, 2017 Module Directors significantly reshaped and enriched the academic value of the program. A highlight among 2017 Module Directors was Professor Eric Booth’s Module, The Purposes and Practices of Teaching Artistry, whose themes echoed throughout the year in many continuing discussions and was described by many as a transformative learning experience.

Another academic enhancement in 2017 that produced exceptional results was the addition of a network of industry-expert mentors, who worked individually with Cohort Members to help them build their Final Projects. Each student was matched with a highly skilled mentor with experience in building projects similar to those that Cohort Members sought to create. This direct transferring of experience, along with the constructive and creative guidance of Module Directors, resulted in an exceptionally strong set of Final Projects in 2017.

2018 promises even more significant academic growth as The Global Leaders Program will work in collaboration with nine world-class universities and think tanks to curate and oversee the 12-module academic curriculum, in consort with our dedicated faculty of Module Directors. The addition of an in-person Full Cohort Module in January represents a particularly noteworthy highlight that will fundamentally transform the breadth of the academic experience for the 2018 Cohort.

Mollie WestbrookThe Opus CollectiveThe Opus Collective believes that all humans are innately capable of creating and making music, and the key to unlocking this potential is through collaborative creative environments guided by open, community-oriented facilitators. This project strives to reinvent the archaic educational workshop or corporate team-building exercise into a participatory, immersive process that culminates in an intensive performance experience.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

8

The financial profile of the 2017 Global Leaders Program reflects a lean initiative where each earned dollar is multiplied by charitable and in-kind investment. In-kind revenue continued to be a cornerstone of the program’s financial operation in 2017. A dramatic increase in earned revenue added a much needed cash injection into the program, allowing for a number of enhancements, including the addition of professional Module Directors, expanded administrative support focused on assisting Cohort Members with both Academics and Fieldwork, and the addition of a small marketing budget that led to the most diverse, well-qualified group of applicants thus far for the 2018 Cohort. This shift towards earned revenue represents an important step towards long-term sustainability for The Global Leaders Program, and will continue to depend on increasing the value the program offers to participants in order to support this growth. Future financial goals for 2018 are built around further increases in both earned and charitable revenues, allowing for greater expenditures on Fieldwork-related activities, including the first Full Cohort Residence, as well as the addition of nine curating academic institutions to the oversight and delivery of the curriculum.
