Volunteer Power

Without these wonderful people's invaluable time and effort, our extraordinary work over the last 10 years would not have been possible.

Susan Strauss and Diana Frank donated a good part of a year of their precious time to administrate and film our 6 month-long mentorship program in and around Lake Placid, culminating in our String Pulse Experience performance at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts in April 2015.

"Yesterday, toward the end of the concert, as I was sitting in my seat listening to the young lady singing her song about how it is her time, I thought about what an incredible opportunity this was for her to sing a song that she wrote in Alice Tully Hall with these really fantastic musicians accompanying her, and I started reflecting on what this concert really was. I thought about the times in my life when I, as a young music student, was given great opportunities, and the encouraging comments of musicians who I admired, and how those events have stayed with me my whole life, and sometimes have been the motivation and incentive I needed to keep going when I have been discouraged as a musician."
