About Elan
The Elan Mission
To provide the highest quality instruction in a positive, nurturing musical environment designed to foster lifelong learning habits that lead to advanced musical development, awareness and appreciation.
The Elan Difference
Our Faculty is specially chosen for not only their teaching reputations but also their hands on performing careers. This makes their relevance to the students completely practical rather than theoretical.
The Festival has successfully trained students in the Northeast and its faculty attracts students from Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Students work with 21st century technology to not only garner multiple vantage point feedback, but the ability to refer to it long after the festival is completed. Their work in the festival is kept on a secure server that the students can access or share at their discretion with other students.
The Elan Endowment Program
The Elan International Music Festival is pleased to offer a host of private sponsorship and endowment opportunities that enable you to culturally enrich your community, while fostering the musical talent of some of the world’s most talented young musicians.
The Elan Endowment Program enables you to bring an opportunity to a young, aspiring musician who otherwise would not have the opportunity to experience the life-changing and music-enhancing program. The students are visiting from all over the world, and they do not always have the financial means to support their participation.
The operating expenses, travel expenses and administrative costs to produce this one-of-a-kind program require the support of our community, and we have been fortunate to receive support in the form of personal portfolio donations, airlines mile donations, commodity/stock cash-ins, personal endowments, in-kind donations of goods and services, and more.
The Elan Corporate Partnership Program
Through the ongoing support of our business community, Elan has been able to augment its programs with state-of-the-art training facilities, master-level faculty, well-trained administrative staff, world-class performance concert halls and a world-renowned orchestra-in-residence in The St. Petersburg String Quartet to create one of the most compelling festivals in the world.
We have proudly collaborated with many reputable companies in the world that truly believe in the unique nature of what we are offering, and who believe in making the impossible possible for some of our most talented youth.
Please inquire about how you may not only culturally enrich our future master young musicians, but align your company with one of the most forward-thinking and unique music programs in the world.
