This article discusses the findings of my master’s research, which sought to understand the professional aspirations of students from the bowed string section who were members of the String Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra of Guri (São Paulo), and who aimed to pursue careers in music. Guri is a public policy initiative—an educational and socio-cultural inclusion program implemented by the Government of the State of São Paulo and the State Secretariat for Culture and Creative Economy—and has been managed by the social organization Santa Marcelina Cultura since 2008. The research focused on participants aged 18 to 25, a range encompassed within youth studies that underpin the dissertation. It explored questions such as: Who are the young people participating in the Guri Project? What professional expectations do they envision as a result of their musical studies within the program? What role does Guri play in shaping their professional trajectories? The study adopted a qualitative approach, drawing on semi-structured interviews and document analysis provided by both the program and the selected participants. Six young Confidential people were interviewed. Through their testimonies, their voices emerged as they narrated their stories, experiences, and dreams of professional insertion as musicians. The findings reveal that, for these participants, Guri functions as a formative space that provides access to musical knowledge and inspires them to pursue careers in this field. It also emerges as a space that facilitates access to cultural and historical assets and encourages the development of skills that extend beyond music itself, offering intrinsic and personal benefits. Moreover, the collaborators perceive the pursuit of a music degree as essential for their professional development. They also demonstrate a strong awareness of the professional contexts they may enter and of the challenges they will need to overcome. The study is grounded in the works of José Machado Pais (1990, 2016), Pierre Bourdieu (1983), and Margulis and Urresti (1998), which together offer theoretical and sociological perspectives on youth and the dynamics of professional aspiration. In summary, this research highlights how the Guri Project not only provides musical education but also acts as a catalyst for identity construction, agency, and social mobility among young musicians. It demonstrates that artistic and educational experiences in collective learning environments can profoundly shape life projects, professional choices, and the formation of youth subjectivities in contemporary society.
