What makes music school a little less chaotic and stressful?

❕A Crescendo Hub Community❕

When practicing becomes exhausting,
the practice room starts feeling too loud and small,
coursework is overwhelming,
your schedule gets so busy…..
Gathering with fellow Christian musicians is a balm to the weary soul. 😌

People who GET you.
Where you can make music together for FUN in WORSHIP.

There’s nothing better 🤗

What do you do when you have an injury when it matters most? 😳

🙏🏻 PRAY 🙏🏻

It may not work perfectly.
It may not “cure all.”

But prayer is more than just physical healing—it is a complete reliance on the Lord.

It is spiritual nourishment to the soul.

It is trusting that the Lord is above all and will be with you through it all, no matter what happens.

What pianist Carter Johnson experienced was hope. An overwhelming love and support from his Christian community was like spiritual medicine.

The Lord helped him through it. 🎹

“Leaving the Met was one of the hardest and most faith-filled decisions of my life…It didn’t make sense on paper—but it made sense in prayer.”

Have you listened to our interview with violinist David Chan?

David shares what led to his decision to leave the Met Orchestra to teach at Rice University, how faith has shaped his career, and what it means to follow God‘s calling with courage and a culture that often pushes the opposite direction.

This is at the heart of Crescendo.

Musicians who don’t separate their faith from their artistry—but bring both fully to the stage.

To us, it’s not just a concert. It’s an offering to the Lord.

🚨Listen live…or later! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCoh0hxSemw

On Saturday, March 28 at 9am EDT, experience a special online streaming of the complete performance of St. Matthew Passion by J.S. Bach. This moving presentation features the Malaysia Bach Festival Singers and Orchestra, led by David Chin at the harpsichord, with acclaimed tenor Daniel Johannsen.

Bach’s St. Matthew Passion holds special significance during the Lenten season as it reflects on the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. Bach’s setting transforms the Gospel narrative into a profound spiritual experience, combining scripture, sacred poetry, and music into a form of worship. Often described as a “preacher in music,” Bach brings the story vividly to life through reflective chorales, expressive recitatives, introspective arias, and dramatic choruses, inviting listeners not just to hear the Passion, but to contemplate and encounter its meaning on a personal level.
