Empowering Young Artists & Classical Music Lovers—Locally & Globally

Welcome to OpenStringZ— A Global Classical Music Experience right here in NWA

Classical music isn’t just for musicians—it’s for anyone who loves learning, enjoys the thrill of discovery, the joy of deep listening, and the stories behind the music. Here, we bring together musicians and classical music enthusiasts to create a community where learning, performing, and sheer appreciation go hand in hand.

Young musicians thrive when surrounded by mentors, supporters, and fellow music lovers who challenge and inspire them. That’s why we pair dedicated students with those who simply love the music—whether that’s fellow musicians, lifelong listeners, or newcomers eager to explore the world of Beethoven’s boldness, Bach’s brilliance, and Mahler’s mystery.

“What is best in music is not to be found in the notes.”—Gustav Mahler

Music is about more than playing the right notes—it’s about finding joy in learning, hearing music in a new way, and understanding its deep connections to history, culture, and the human experience. Whether you’re picking up a violin or just nerding out over why Beethoven broke all the rules, there’s a place for you here.

Creating a space where…

• Students sharpen their skills through coaching, masterclasses, and performance.

• Music lovers get to engage with the music more deeply—whether that’s through guided listening, discussions, or supporting young musicians.

• Enthusiasts and performers come together for chamber music, intimate concerts, and shared musical experiences.

• Cultural exchange opens doors to learning about music from around the world.
