Elevate Vocal Arts (EVA) works where music, education, and opportunity intersect to transform lives. Like you, at EVA, we believe that the arts are essential—not just as a form of expression but as a powerful tool for social change, personal growth, and community building. Our mission is to ensure that students, emerging artists, and seasoned professionals have access to meaningful opportunities that allow them to thrive.

We are redefining arts education and performance through our school-based residencies, Summer Institute, and flagship ensemble Elevation. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to fostering creativity, diversity, and equity— ensuring that every voice is heard and every story is told through the power of song.
