The Grace Notes
Fellowship

Music as a Gift. Music as a Mission.

Returning God-given talents to those in need — bringing the transformative power of live classical music to communities and individuals who deserve to hear it most.

Our Story
Scroll

Gifts Received.
Gifts Returned.

The Grace Notes Fellowship was founded on a simple but profound belief: that every musical talent is a gift from God, and every gift carries a responsibility to give back.

As a family of classically trained musicians, we are committed to bringing world-class live music to hospitals, shelters, underserved communities, and anyone for whom music would otherwise be out of reach.

"We have been given so much through music — now it is our turn to give."

Faith-Centered

Rooted in gratitude to God for the talents we have received and the calling to serve others.

Community-Focused

Serving hospitals, shelters, elder care, and underserved schools with live classical music performances.

Excellence in All Things

Bringing the highest standard of artistry to every stage — from the Metropolitan Opera to a community shelter.

Next Generation

Inspiring young people through music education and mentorship, so that the gift continues to grow.

Meet the Kang Family

The Grace Notes Fellowship is led by the next generation — two young musicians who believe that the gifts they have received are meant to be shared. Supported by their family, they are building something that will last far beyond the stage.
