Meet the Founder
My name is Conrad Markstein, I am a student musician based in Encinitas, California, and I started this organization out of a love for performing for others. I have been a part of music for the elderly clubs for 4 years and wanted to bring that possibility to as many homes as possible, trying to incorporate student musicians from all over Encinitas instead of just those at one school.
