Our Founder

Beth Bader

After watching a 60 Minutes report on El Sistema of Venezuela, Ms. Bader developed a plan for a similar music program for children in Alamance County, NC. She founded Young Musicians of Alamance in 2016.

The organization has continued to grow since that day. Ms. Bader retired in January, 2019. She now resides in the mountains of North Carolina and volunteers at the El Sistema program in Asheville, NC, MusicWorks!
