Elemental Music

We are almost done uploading videos from all of our final concerts but here are a few candids from our final Prelude and Elemental Strings concert of the season to hold you over! So many smiles and wonderful musical moments. We are so proud of these students!

Scroll allllll the way to the end for a little idea of what our musicians did backstage to pass the time during sound checks…. It’s a little game called Hide the Rosin where students play louder or softer based on whether the seeker is closer or further from the hidden rosin. 😂

Some candids from our Elemental Guitar and Elemental Choir concert a couple weeks ago! Watching these students grow as musicians and performers over the course of a year is one of the great privileges of this work. This final concert was made even more special by the fact that our singers got to premiere a new piece composed by our choral teaching fellow Michael “Sayuva” Torres, who also conducted the song! 💛

Longtime Elemental Music student Sadie has always felt like music was her community, so she chose to celebrate her 16th birthday in the most fitting way possible: with a concert benefiting Elemental Music. 🥹

It’s so inspiring to see our students channel their musicianship into something bigger. For Sadie, that meant using her artistry to give back and create opportunities for more young musicians to experience our programs. THANK YOU to Sadie and her generous and enthusiastic audience, who raised $1,000 for our programs!

Swipe for moments from the birthday concert and dress rehearsal candids. The evening featured a special performance by the Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies, one of our Chamber Music Institute ensembles!
