💙 Crescendo has a lot of heart — and a big piece of that heart is heading off to college.
Emerson Cairns has been part of this organization almost since the day we opened our doors in 2018. What started as volunteering grew into years of showing up as a string coach, a mentor, and a constant presence for our kids. They love her — and earlier this year, more than a few of them were pretty sad to learn she was a senior and moving on.
It's easy to see why. Emerson is a classical musician and a bandleader. She's the force behind Kit's Kloset. She's someone who gives generously of her time and talent, and our students are better for having learned alongside her.
Emerson, thank you for everything you've poured into Crescendo and into these kids. We are so proud of you. Go do great things — and please come back and visit us. 🎻
