• East Zodiac is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting Asian composers and ensuring meaningful representation of Asian descent within the U.S. classical music scene. Each year, they commission an Asian composer to create a new work inspired by the Chinese Zodiac. This piece is workshopped collaboratively with the composer, rehearsed with musicians, and premiered at our annual concert, which also features a full program of works by AAPI composers.
• Unison Chamber Music Collective is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to breaking barriers in access to classical music. The organization brings world-class, engagement-based chamber music performances to underserved communities, including shelters, prisons, and addiction recovery centers. Through trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approaches, Unison musicians create concerts that foster connection, dignity, and joy for audiences who are often excluded from traditional performance spaces.
