Classical Music Program Thrives in Milwaukee's Latino Community - NBC News.com: MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- Close your eyes and the music will transport you to a symphony hall, to a Mozart violin concerto worthy of a prime stage. You would never know it just by listening, but none of the students have ever played an instrument before enrolling in the program. That’s the magic of the Latino Arts Strings Program at the United Community Center in Milwaukee. The program has helped Latino children gain more than just musical mastery - it's been a key to scholarships, musical careers and self-confidence and pride.
