About Us
We are an NPO and an ensemble performance group that was established in July of 2020 and incorporated in October of 2020.
Our goal as an ensemble has been to spread joy to the community and diffuse different cultures from around the world through our expression of music.
We currently are an ensemble of five, and all high schoolers. Our activities include outdoor and indoor performances, summer camps, and piano recitals.

Vision
We are a group consisting of large ethnic varieties including American, Japanese, and African, and we all love music! Since we have incorporated in October of 2020, our vision has been to extend our passion for music and share cultures from around the world.
Improvisation
One big component of our performance is improvisation, where each member come up with their own melody while playing. We follow the TMU (Teaching Musical Understanding) method to foster children’s creativity and develop strong musical foundation.
Instruments
Our group mainly focuses on marimba, piano, and singing, while we incorporate many other instruments including Taiko (Japanese drum), snare drum, Djembe (African drum), guitar, bell, etc.
