our performers
the stars of our show
In May of 2022, Project Andante was but a single concert, hosted with an array of about eight or nine people. To this day, it has expanded to nearly a hundred active performers, each keystones in making our concerts as successful as they are today.
​
In the fast-paced, stress-filled time period that is high school, our performers have found time to squeeze to share the happiness of music with seniors.
​
So, we've prepared a little gallery to thank each and every one of them for their contributions to our mission and our goals.
