Located in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, we are a non-profit music school that is committed to social change through the power and love of music.

We provide free classical music education to the children and youth in our community and use our orchestras and choirs as models for healthy community living.

Music is recognized as an agent of social development in the highest sense, because it transmits the highest values – solidarity, harmony, and mutual compassion.

Through a commitment to our children’s growth and our community, we create a space for our children to musically discover and pursue the joy of creativity, collaboration, and achievement.
