About us

Sistema Scotland is a charity on a mission to improve lives and strengthen communities using music and nurturing relationships. Our Big Noise orchestral and social programmes use the symphony orchestra as a community through which children gain an invaluable range of life skills and experiences. Children develop confidence, teamwork, resilience, pride and aspiration, supporting them to reach their potential and lead successful and fulfilled lives. 

Sistema Scotland's established Big Noise programmes support over 3,500 children, young people and their families across six communities: Raploch and Fallin in Stirling, Govanhill in Glasgow, Torry in Aberdeen, Douglas in Dundee and Wester Hailes in Edinburgh.
