Groups in Dundee, Aberdeen, Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh will receive Scottish government cash.
The Scottish government says it will provide £1.5m to fund children's orchestras at risk of closure because of squeezed council budgets.
Councils in Aberdeen and Dundee had axed funding for their Big Noise youth orchestras, with fears raised about the future of other projects.Culture minister Neil Gray said the cash would ensure that young people continue to benefit from the Big Noise projects in Dundee, Aberdeen, Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
"I know times are tough for councils - but delighted to confirm that the Scottish government will ensure Sistema gets the funding it needs to secure future."Deputy First Minister John Swinney has written to Sistema to give them assurances over next year's funding after lobbying from a number of musicians, community groups and politicians.
She added: "We are grateful to ministers, those councils that did stand by us, and all of our wonderful funders and the wider community who have sent us so many messages of support over the past weeks.'Fantastic result'The project was inspired by Venezuela's El Sistema, which grew from the ideas of Jose Abreu who taught music in some of Venezuela's poorest neighbourhoods.
