Performed by Minji Kim (Violin), Alexander Moon (Cello). Bernards Ensemble Family Concert held virtually on Zoom on June 15, 2021. The Bernards Ensemble (https://www.bernardsensemble.org) was founded in 2016, which initially began as a small group of talented student musicians who sought to share music with those with developmental disabilities. The ensemble strives to not only bring recognition to these people but also provide an effective pathway of communication and understanding through the joy of music. As children and adults with developmental disabilities are not able to attend musical concerts, the members aim to bring the concert to them. Since then, the ensemble has performed numerous concerts and has been growing fast. Now with over fifty members from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and South Korea, the group plans on holding many more concerts into the future. Through this growth, the ensemble members hope to amplify their voices even further—that is, they wish to spread awareness towards mental and developmental disabilities and cultivate a deeper sense of community among those who may be affected by such disabilities and those who may not be.
