Students of Sistema Utah will showcase their musical talents at a concert Saturday, and on Friday event organizers and students came to the FOX 13 News Studio to discuss the upcoming performance.

Sistema Utah is a non-profit organization that uses the El Sistema model to use music as a "vehicle for positive social change."  According to a press release from Sistema Utah, the after-school program launched in September of 2013 and seeks to help young people become better citizens through music education.
