The VMA Foundation continues to grow, welcoming new young musicians and celebrating the many ways our members are putting their musical talents to work in their communities.
Welcoming New Members
We are excited to welcome several new musicians to the VMA family!
Abigail, a middle school violinist from Belmont, Massachusetts.
Zixin, a high school pianist from East Chapel Hill High School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Vijval, also joining us from East Chapel Hill High School in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Oliver, a five-year-old violinist from Somerville, Massachusetts.
Each new member adds to our growing national community of young musicians who believe that music can make a difference.
Taking Service to the Next Level
Akshath, a VMA high school pianist in Cary, North Carolina, has been bringing music to residents of a local memory care community. Already performing several concerts this fall, Akshath is demonstrating how consistent musical outreach can create meaningful connections and moments of joy.
In Birmingham, Alabama, a VMA middle school student recently performed at East Glen Nursing Home, sharing music with residents and bringing generations together through a live performance.
Music for a Cause: Cody Li's Keys for Paws
VMA member Cody Li recently organized Keys for Paws, a piano benefit recital supporting the Quincy Animal Shelter.
In collaboration with EKS Music School, Cody used his musical talents to support a cause close to his heart. His initiative is a wonderful example of how young musicians can turn their passion into meaningful community action.
Music Makes a Difference
From welcoming our youngest members to supporting nursing home residents and organizing charitable benefit concerts, our students are discovering that being a musician can mean much more than performing.
At the VMA Foundation, we believe that music is a vehicle for service, leadership, and lasting community impact.
We develop more than musicians. We develop the next generation of changemakers.
Because everyone deserves orchestra seats.
