Support The Community
Evelyn has a goal to create a movement of gritty young learners—especially, but not limited to, violin learners from a variety of backgrounds. That's why she's excited to be partnering with El Sistema, USA, to support a nationwide movement of programs to effect social change through music for children with the fewest resources and the greatest need.
