Our Musicians are your Mentors

Our Mentors are all actively performing musicians with a passion for teaching and coaching chamber music. We offer private lessons, chamber music coaching, and a variety of programs created to engage students and help them overcome all that comes through their path. We would love to guide you on your journey as a musician.

We need your help

Donations of every kind are what keep Galatea alive. Whether you're able to help fund our concerts and programs, offer your home for our traveling artists, provide meals during a week of rehearsals, or share our mission and events within your community — it's all necessary for us to give and grow into our true potential.

Connecting with our Community

Each program is an intentional act of community enrichment.

New Wave Chamber Music Week

Growing the Younger Generation
Our young musicians need the opportunity to grow through performing; this is an integral part of being a musician. This week is dedicated to them. Playing alongside our team of chamber musicians and allowing the best versions of our students to be heard helps us all grow as musicians and individuals. Scholarships are available for those in need of financial support, always.

The New Wave Foundation

Giving Educational Resources
The New Wave Foundation helps underprivileged children fund an instrument or lessons, and shares the joy of chamber music with local schools who do not have music programs. This allows children to experience what music can bring into their lives, and nurtures their development regardless of their financial situation.

Hear Between Every Note

Hear the Healing of Music
We combine the beauty of performance with professional hearing care and bring senior facilities thought-provoking programs that stimulate their senses while improving them. This gives more than simply music; we are reviving emotion from within.

Music for Life

Peace Through Music
We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for those who need it most, including ill children and seniors, through the gift of chamber music. We do this by bringing professional and student musicians to patients and their families, with a vision to be the light in someone’s day.
“Every time I have the opportunity to bring this music to life, it is truly a gift transcending through time, allowing us to experience more than pure emotion, but the art of music. The power this music holds brings the light into the world that I wish to see.” - Dr. Johnathan Spence (Founder/Artistic Director)

Experience what we are creating

Performance only begins the creation of a space where the magic is truly held.
