A 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Greg Chako
Everybody Loves Music
Music. Education. Wellness. Community.
ELM connects musicians, educators, nonprofits, healthcare providers and community organizations to bring meaningful music to people of all ages, especially youth, seniors and underserved neighborhoods.
Great music programs shouldn’t work in isolation.
After five decades in music, Greg saw organizations working in separate genre lanes and ticket prices keeping great music out of reach. ELM brings those efforts together, and grows from his graduate work in ethnomusicology and music therapy.
