Our Team

“An orchestra is much more than a mere artistic structure. For young people playing music together is a way of deeply interacting with one another, evoking a devotion to excellence, the discipline of working together as a team” – José Antonio Abreu

Volunteer Teaching Artists 2021

Núcleo Corona is humbled by the support we are receiving during this pandemic, which has hit hard our community. In these unusual circumstances, and because we are relying on distanced learning, physical distance is not an obstacle anymore. Our students have experienced the closeness of having a private lesson by dedicated teachers from all over the United States. With their commitment and love of teaching, they are giving our students much more than a simple instrument lesson and passing their love for music. They are also giving them an example of activism in the face of a crisis.

Thank you!
