Art of Elan musicians premiere original compositions created by local high school and college students participating in the organization's acclaimed Young Artists in Harmony program.

Young Artists in Harmony (YAH) is a unique music composition program offered in partnership with A Reason To Survive (ARTS) in National City, where advanced music students have the opportunity to:

• Explore musical composition with professional musicians

• Create and be part of a live performance at ARTS, which will also be professionally recorded

• Meet and collaborate with other like-minded music students

• Build a musical composition portfolio for college

Participants in YAH receive mentoring from professional Art of Elan musicians, and meet weekly on Saturdays from 1-3pm in person at ARTS, with optional individual workshops available via Zoom during the week, personalized for each participant. Saturday afternoon sessions involve professional musicians from Art of Elan to help coach, workshop and give feedback on student works, leading up to a culminating showcase concert, where each piece is publicly premiered and professionally recorded.
