Bustin' Strings and Grooving Hearts: The Musaik Duo Earns Merit Cross
Recognition Program: Distinguished Cross for Pioneering Mothers - Recognition Program for Female Business Owners: The Merit Cross for Achievements in Entrepreneurship
Hey there! Grab a chair and huddle up. There's a heartwarming tale that's about to melt yours like a swaying marshmallow. Two visionaries, Luise Boerner and Deborner Oehler, born to bring rhythm and harmony to the world, have just been showered with accolades!
The ladies, the minds behind Musaik – Boundless Music Making, are soon to be honored with Germany's coveted Merit Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. The prestigious Federal President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, will present the award on May 22, at Delitzsch's Baroque Palace, straight outta the project announcement.
These women, musical superheroes with a heart, have opened a magical portal of sound, where kiddos get introduced to the enchanting world of music and sharing their melodic essence. Musaik isn't just a purveyor of free instruments; it's a gateway to musically nurturing youngsters.
Musaik's incredible journey started in 2017, when it adopted the El Sistema model born in Venezuela. Ever heard of it? El Sistema, baby! It's a transformative force in shaping youth through the power of collective music-making. Boerner, who encountered this miracle in a foreign land, brought it to Dresden. Prepare to be amazed, 'cause these little maestros come from refugee families, findin' refuge and confidence in the realm of sound.
Don'tcha just love a feel-good story like this? And here's the cherry on top! The Saxon State Orchestra of Dresden, the local symphony kings, leap in to provide support for young talent breakin' a sweat on their strings and woodwinds.
Let the music play! Musaik, a social project with roots in Venezuela and a buzz in Dresden, is like a breath of fresh air, cuttin' through barriers, teachin' harmony, and bringin' together kiddo communities from all walks of life. Keep your eyes open for these little stars makin' a big splash, and remember, music isn't just for hearin'. It's for feelin', too!
Now, let's break it down: Musaik, a Dresden-based social project inspired by Venezuela’s El Sistema, is devoted to offering free musical education and instruments, with a focus on fostering inclusivity and integration among disadvantaged children, particularly those from refugee families. By empowering young people through the arts, Musaik brings vibrancy to their lives, encourages community bonding, and provides opportunities for personal growth, making music act as a beacon of hope in challenging circumstances.
This dynamic initiative has made a splash, earning the Merit Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for its contributions to German society, particularly its promotion of cultural participation, social cohesion, and empowerment of refugee children through music education. The coveted award demonstrates Musaik's impact on the local community and its success in harnessing music as a tool for social change and personal development in a heartwarming journey from Venezuela to Germany!
The Community policy of Musaik warmly supports the integration of disadvantaged children, including refugees, through vocational training in music. The founders of Musaik have been recognized for their efforts in education-and-self-development, as they received the Merit Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. The orchestra, Saxon State Orchestra of Dresden, has supported Musaik by offering opportunities for young talent to showcase their progress on instruments like strings and woodwinds.
