Upon accepting the position, Alyssa commented “I sincerely believe that cultivating a diverse field of classical musicians, reflecting the diversity of our communities, plays a vital role in our societies to allow people to feel welcome, inspired and valued. I am excited to lead Project STEP as we continue to make an impact, using the arts as a vehicle for social change.”
