Who We Are
More than 250 people currently participate in the Ekko community through music lessons, choirs, ensembles, theatre, classes, workshops, performances, and community events.
As a non-profit, we work to reduce the barriers that can prevent people from participating in the performing arts. Through accessible pricing, subsidized programming, our Gifts of Music scholarship, Pay-What-You-Can opportunities, and programs designed for different ages and communities, we are working toward a performing arts community where more people can belong.

Making the Arts More Accessible
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in the performing arts.
Financial circumstances, age, experience, or background shouldn’t determine whether someone gets to learn, create, perform, or connect. As a non-profit, we build accessibility into our programs in a number of ways.
Accessible Pricing
Access, Standard, and Supporter pricing helps participants choose a rate that better reflects their circumstances while helping sustain our programs.
Pay-What-You-Choose
Selected performances, events, and community programs offer flexible pricing so cost doesn’t have to prevent someone from taking part.
Gifts of Music Scholarship
Helps children and youth access music and performing arts instruction when cost would otherwise be a barrier.
Programs for Everyone
Programs for children, youth, adults, and seniors, with opportunities for different ages, abilities, interests, and experience levels.
