The Musician's Platform
The Musician’s Platform is a quarterly recital series presented by the Salit Foundation, designed to uplift local amateur and professional musicians by offering free access to a professional performance space. Musicians are selected through a pre-screening and audition process to ensure a high level of artistry while welcoming a broad range of voices within the classical tradition. This initiative allows performers to refine their craft and share their music in a setting that values growth, expression, and excellence.
Recitals take place in our acoustically rich recital hall and are free and open to the public, making classical music more accessible to the broader community. Performers are also included in our official season materials and featured in our marketing and outreach campaigns, giving them added visibility and recognition. This supportive platform not only encourages artistic development but also invites audiences to experience music in an intimate and welcoming setting.
By removing financial and institutional barriers, The Musician’s Platform reflects the Salit Foundation’s mission to empower artists, strengthen community engagement, and foster a vibrant culture of live classical music. It is our belief that great music should be heard—and shared—by all, and this series is one way we ensure that those with something to say have a stage from which to say it.
