— We Make Musical Arts Accessible —

Our skilled musicians partner with schools to design engaging musical arts workshops and concerts, customized to align with each school’s curriculum. LAC is dedicated to making the musical arts approachable and pertinent for students from kindergarten through high school. Our goal is to cultivate an appreciation for musical arts, while unlocking creativity, imagination, and innovation across all facets of their lives.
