The mission of the Emerald Coast Music Alliance is to bring exposure of classical music to populations who would otherwise not have access to such, including; children, special needs persons, elderly and infirm persons, and those in rural areas. The goal is to increase appreciation for classical music and enrich live by bringing professional classical musicians to our region to perform for these populations, at no charge, in accessible community venues.

The alliance is the brainchild of Alon Goldstein, an Israeli-born pianist who has played all over the world. Goldstein said he formed the group in the hopes of keeping the magic of art, specifically the art of classical music, alive.
The group works in partnership with the Northwest Florida State College Foundation and relies on private citizens to donate to fund its efforts, which consist of taking world-class musicians directly to populations who would have little or no opportunity for such an experience. This is done free of charge. Venues have included school classrooms, autism centers, after-school programs, facilities for those with special needs and assisted living facilities to name a few. |
Listen to a classical piece as Alon Goldstein expresses his passion for the mission of Emerald Coast Music Alliance.
