    Orchestrating Diversity
    Orchestrating Diversity, the brainchild of Mark Sarich St. E CYO Class of 72, provides musical opportunities rare for inner-city kids: an 8 week summer program of college-level music theory, history and mastering an instrument - at no cost to students. Kids in low-income neighborhoods rarely have opportunities for music instruction and training. Music is life in sound - the mastery of music is nothing less than the mastery of life, said Mark. I wanted to see if access to good training on an even playing field could change outcomes for these kids. Starting with $5,000 for a program that costs much more, the program has been well received by the community and by kids who really want to play. The kids are proving that they are capable and are warmly accepted for what they can contribute. And I get to live out this dream of mine. Ive always wanted to provide the best possible training for inner-city kids, in an intensive program that gives them the tools to excel in music, Mark said.

    When one student dropped out, the other kids brought him back. Right before the orchestra went out to play, the student said he thought he looked good in a tuxand that this was the first time hed ever finished anything.

    Catching Up: Mark Sarich, Class of 72: Musician, Educator, Community Arts Activist
    In 1967, dancer/choreographer Katherine Dunham opened her Performing Arts Training Center in East St. Louis to use the arts to combat poverty and urban unrest. In 1993, inspired by Dunham and renowned STL educator Johnetta Haley, Mark Sarich opened the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center in south STL. LNAC encourages the intellectual, creative and emotional growth of young people. Along the way, LNAC has gained international recognition as a destination for 2,000+ non-commercial musicians and artists from Tokyo, Berlin, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Sweden, Rome, & Beirut.

    LNACs educational and social mission is even more impressive. We put social work first and musicianship as an extraordinarily close second. We want to diminish the gap between those two until its almost indistinguishable, said Kory Lyles, music teacher at O.D. Sarich and his colleagues are changing the lives of kids and the community as a whole. STL police and aldermen credit LNAC as having made a significant impact in clearing drugs and prostitution from an entire south-city neighborhood. "The best activism invites the city to be responsive to the needs of poorer neighborhoods, said Mark. Orchestrating Diversity has gone even further bringing the discipline, joy and opportunity of classical music and performance to inner-city kids. (Photos from CHS Globe.
