Celebrating 40 years!

Since 1982, Project STEP (String Training Education Program) has provided talented young musicians that identify with historically underrepresented groups in classical music with comprehensive music instruction.
We envision a world in which the classical music profession reflects the racial and ethnic diversity of our communities.
