Where Music Carries Us.

Founded in Princeton, New Jersey, by Audrey Yang, with Bolin Shen helping establish its early team, Where Music Carries Us Inc. (WMCU) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit shaped by generations of student leaders.

Elizabeth Wang joined WMCU in middle school and now serves as President. She has expanded the organization’s community partnerships and introduced new initiatives, including the inaugural Concert for Food benefiting Arm In Arm. Through concerts for seniors, food deliveries, and seasonal service projects, WMCU gives young people meaningful ways to use music and service to connect with and support their community.

History

Our story starts with the power of music to bring people together.

Where Music Carries Us (WMCU) seeks to bring student musicians together to forge bonds with themselves, their peers, and their communities through volunteer engagement. 

Having performed at numerous senior centers, educated young campers about woodwind instruments, put on a musical holiday party at the New Jersey HomeFront shelter, been the face of the New Jersey Music Teacher Association’s presence at the 2018 Communiversity event in Princeton, and raised over $8,000 to support local businesses and hospitals in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, WMCU’s student members have truly become active citizens of their local communities. 

“I can’t thank you enough for bringing music and young people to Elm Court! The residents really enjoy it and the concerts are a spirit-lifter.”

– Kate Hall, Social Worker, Elm Court
