Founder: "From Student to Teacher"
"I was once a student in a string camp at the 577 Foundation. On the last day of camp my friend and I vowed to one day start our own when we were old and wise.
15 years later I made good on that promise and fulfilled a dream of mine: to create an incredible and supportive environment for young musicians to grow as artists and people."
