Creating Community
Coast Live Music aspires to harness the power of music to create settings where people can share meaningful moments in our modern world. Like its namesake the majestic Coast Live Oak tree with its many branches that intertwine and stem from one another, Coast Live Music hopes to remind people of our resilience and strength together.

Education and Outreach
Every year, during multiple visits, artists uplift the community through dense and purposeful engagements. Music is brought to underserved communities, behavioral health programs, senior homes, hospitals, and more. Exposing the very young to classical music has been documented to help foster empathy, develop language skills and reasoning, as well as proven to aid and comfort those who are suffering from mental stress and physical ailments. Music can make us whole again. It is educational, healing, and connecting. Coast Live Music does everything in its power to share it with as many people as possible.

Unique Structure
Chamber Music is designed for small ensembles, historically performed in intimate settings and shared between friends. Set in select, intimate venues, carefully crafted programs allow audiences to have a personal and genuine experience with one another as well as a powerful connection with the musicians. Offering world-class performance in auditorily sublime settings with magnificent backdrops, this concert series is truly a magical experience. Coast Live Music seeks to enrich lives and break the boundaries of chamber music, bringing the most inspiring musicians from all over the world together in a fresh format.

From the Founder

Coast Live Music is a confluence of things which hold the most value and importance to me in life: Music and community. Coast Live was created with the desire to bring dynamic and engaging musical experiences into our community, from classrooms to concert halls.

This area, which my family and I are lucky enough to call our home, has so much to offer its residents, and Coast Live focuses on highlighting its many gems.

Concerts will take place in incredible-sounding venues with breathtaking backdrops. Students in nearby schools will get to experience the might and wonder of music played and illuminated just for them. Friends and neighbors will gather to experience unforgettable musical performances.

Music is a universal language. My hope is that people of all ages, from preschoolers to senior citizens, will benefit from the concerts and community outreach Coast Live Music has to offer.
