Although I never progressed to the level of playing professionally, my time spent with [my] youth symphony orchestra was fulfilling and unforgettable. My experience went beyond learning to play the violin\u2014it was made more meaningful by the lessons I learned and the friends I made along the way. Our support for Merit School of Music is my way of giving back to the musical community, as well as honoring my family\u2019s love for music.\u201d<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/em><\/h3><h3><strong>\u2013 John Fife, Chicago philanthropist &amp; co-founder of Emerging Artists Chicago<br \/><br \/><\/strong><\/h3><p>When the pandemic took over her students\u2019 daily routines, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artchi.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mio Nakamura<\/a><\/strong>, who founded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artchi.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Emerging Artists Chicago<\/strong><\/a> along with John Fife, recognized the challenges that would face musical teaching and performance in a world that required physical distance from each other. Mio, a native of Kyoto, Japan, and a graduate of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roosevelt.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roosevelt University<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Chicago College of Performing Arts, saw a communal need for support from the music world. \u201cI always wanted to do something to help the Chicago community through music. [Emerging Artists] began right after COVID-19 started because we were so separated from each other. I wanted to make some moments that could bring [people] together.\u201d Mio\u2019s partnership with her longtime friend, entrepreneur John Fife, allowed her vision to support the human connection of music through unprecedented times to become a reality by creating Emerging Artists Chicago.<\/p><p>Through Emerging Artists, Mio was able to produce virtual concerts, friendly music competitions, and build community amongst musicians whose worlds were upended due to the pandemic. \u201c[After] realizing how much we enjoyed being together virtually, we realized we wanted to do something to help others. So, John and I decided to expand Emerging Artists to support other [music] schools,\u201d shares Mio. Knowing how committed Merit School of Music is to young artists, Emerging Artists created a five-year financial commitment to support fifteen scholarships for young musicians\u2019 group and private lessons through Merit\u2019s robust financial aid program. Music lessons would be cost-prohibitive for these students without this newly designated Emerging Artists Chicago Scholarship Fund.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39698 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Merit-School-of-Music-Mio-Nakamura.png.webp?resize=720%2C650&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Merit-School-of-Music-Mio-Nakamura.png.webp?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Merit-School-of-Music-Mio-Nakamura.png.webp?resize=300%2C271&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/meritmusic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Merit-School-of-Music-Mio-Nakamura.png.webp?resize=13%2C12&amp;ssl=1 13w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p><h6><strong>Mio Nakamura (center), Emerging Artists Chicago&#8217;s Co-Founder, with Charles Grode (left), Merit School of Music&#8217;s President &amp; Executive Director, and Meredith Barber (right), Merit&#8217;s Vice President for Development &amp; Marketing.<\/strong><\/h6><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Emerging Artists aspires to create a meaningful local and global impact on the music world. For Mio, this comes together in a multitude of ways: \u201cI am a performing artist, both as a soloist and a collaborating pianist, so I serve my community in that way, through my music, pretty regularly. But there\u2019s a limit to what I can do. Through Emerging Artists and by giving scholarships to Merit, we thought we could help even more people.\u201d Both Emerging Artists and Merit School of Music are part of the human connection behind what makes music so meaningful. As our world grows and changes, playing music, composing music, and experiencing music is essential.<\/p><p>For Mio, \u201cMusic is a universal language. It just goes to your soul. It\u2019s easy for schools to cut music programs for budgetary reasons, but without music, I don\u2019t think we can survive emotionally and spiritually. We often forget this, but the limitations we had during COVID reminded me of how much we need [music]. It\u2019s not something we can ignore or cut.\u201d<\/p><p>We sincerely thank John Fife, Mio Nakamura, and Emerging Artists Chicago for being an integral part of the local and global music community,
