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 more than 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.
