As Carnegie Hall’s longest-running and most popular school-based education program, Link Up has become a model for implementing high-quality arts education in schools in New York City and Nationwide.

Volta Music Foundation is dedicated to providing music performances and engaging musical activities to demographics that lack access. The outreach program brings joy and happiness to those who need it the most by bringing our activities to hospitals and other care facilities -focusing on delivering arts and crafts activities for children and live music performances for vulnerable demographics, including youth with disabilities and undergoing medical treatments to adults struggling with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The Latin American Exchange Program provides cultural exchange and study-abroad opportunities to promising young musicians. Talented professors from universities and conservatories travel to schools in Latin America to host free masterclasses, workshops, and group lessons. Additionally, Volta prepares and facilitates study abroad opportunities for Latin American Students in the United States.

Volta’s Masterclass Series gives promising young Latin American music students the opportunity to learn from performing teaching artists in the United States. This series helps music students prepare for university and performance auditions and gives them the opportunity to receive critical feedback on their music making.
