Community Programs
Our mission is to empower community members through sharing the joy and inspiration of music.
Hear Between Every NoteHear Between Every Note provides seniors with thought-provoking performances in the comfort of their own homes while receiving hearing care from trusted professionals. This gives more than simply music; we are reviving emotion from within.

Music For LifeMusic For Life strives to enrich the quality of life for ill children and seniors through the gift of chamber music. Galatea brings professional and student musicians to play for patients and their families, providing a moment of joy in someone’s day.

New Wave Chamber Music WeekThis program allows musicians of all ages to play alongside our Artists, giving them hands-on experience to stimulate artistic development. Because everyone’s financial situation is different, each year Galatea offers a Grow Through Music scholarship to musicians in need of financial support. This local program has been shaping musicians for the last six years and will continue to do so for many, many more.

The New Wave FoundationThe New Wave Foundation allows underprivileged children to grow through music. This program provides instruments and other outreach opportunities to students who do not have the means for proper instruction — including students from schools without string programs. At Galatea, we strive to be the change we wish to see in our community.
Donate an Instrument
We accept donations of string instruments and bows suitable for students. To donate, please contact us at hello@galateacm.com or text (757) 453-5813. |
“Dr. Spence is an amazing teacher! Under his instruction for the past few years, I’ve watched both my daughters (currently 15 and 7) grow musically as well as develop other skills that translate outside of music. He has a keen eye for details and is able to tailor instruction to the individual while using a whole-child approach to learning. His open communication with parents has helped to ensure that my children are able to meet their specialized needs and flourish in their enjoyment of creating music. Through his instruction, my oldest child also met her goal of having a successful audition for Bay Youth Orchestra this year.
This is a teacher that will go the extra mile for his students. He also offers other beneficial opportunities for his students and the community. I highly recommend him!”
