Harmony Ensemble
From our student program to our Artist Circle, Harmony is dedicated to collaborative growth with chamber music at its core.
The Harmony Ensemble Artist Circle is an invite-only student-led group of passionate musicians, dedicated to the art of musical and interpersonal collaboration and growth. With divisions named Fantasia and Reverie, Harmony's founders, associates, and guests come together through annual Artist Concerts, unique projects, events, and more, all in a mission to share their message of the art of chamber music with the community.
Harmony's Student Program is a place where young musicians learn about the world of chamber music with valuable opportunities to play with others. Named as Preludia, the students work with the Artist Circle towards their annual student showcases in a learning journey through the world of chamber music and a combined vision to share the opportunity of collaboration with others.

Our Mission
Harmony Ensemble is dedicated to sharing leadership opportunities, the art of collaboration, and non-verbal communication. We focus on building a strong, unified community and giving every musician the chance to build skills they can carry in life. As a student-led program, we're proud to be tuition-free and non-competitive. All donations are to enhance the program and strive for excellence. From all of Harmony, we believe that music brings life to friendship, and friendship brings music to life.

"Hello! My name is Kai, I'm 14 years old and I've been playing the piano for around 6 years. I played in the Harmony Spring Concert and truly had a great experience. Over rehearsals and meet ups with other Harmony members, I not only became a better musician, but I also made new friends and learned how music can bring people together. I started off knowing only half of the musicians I was playing with, but over the course of two months, they became new friends and people that I would love to spend more time with. I now realize that playing in future concerts isn't the only reason why I became a member of Harmony. I would miss the fun rehearsals where we wouldn't just rehearse, but also socialize, eat dinner, or pillow fight with each other. Rehearsals really helped me form a strong bond between everyone in Harmony. Overall, I'm glad that I chose to perform with Harmony and to continue to perform with them for years to come."
