Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, ART OF ELAN will provide Young Artists in Harmony (YAH), an after-school 10-week music composition residency offered in spring and fall for at-risk youth and low-income first-generation college seekers. The residency culminates in free public concerts recorded for online streaming and enjoyed by listeners worldwide. This request will support the spring 2025 residencies in partnership with A Reason to Survive (ARTS) and The Preuss School.

Organization Summary

Known for its collaborative spirit, Art of Elan has been pioneering unique events and bringing exciting classical music to diverse audiences for over 17 years through innovative partnerships and bi-national initiatives that have cultivated curious audiences on both sides of the border. Its consistent track record of sold-out performances stems from its commitment to commissioning new work, collaborating with world-class artists and composers, programming engaging and thought-provoking concerts, and expanding its impact in the region through thoughtful community engagement programs. By drawing inspiration from the word élan, which represents momentum, style, and spirit, Art of Elan continues to engage and energize audiences in new ways.
