Coaching sessions & live performances

In early 2021, the world-renowned San Francisco Opera Adler Fellows used Elk LIVE to practice and coach just ahead of their first live performance in more than a year. Carrie-Ann Matheson, Artistic Director, San Francisco Opera Center said that after almost one year of musical isolation, the Elk LIVE system gave the Adler Fellows the beautiful reminder of what it felt like to breathe with another artist: “Connection is an integral part of being a musician, and Elk LIVE allowed them to connect, collaborate, create and react in real-time. Elk LIVE allows our artists to rehearse remotely without sacrificing vital musical information like tempo variation and breathing.”
