California Summer Performing Arts Academy is a new non-profit organization founded by music educators in Gilroy, CA. Our mission is to cultivate the arts in the South Bay Area by providing every student with a quality arts education that will spark their passion for performing. This year’s fundraising goal is to provide both full and partial CSPAA scholarships to our 2023 summer camp to as many students as possible. We believe that music education should be accessible, affordable, and available to all students!

"Our learning environment at CSPAA promotes and upholds the unique talents of our students and their diverse backgrounds! CSPAA believes that music education enhances the lives of students both mentally and emotionally. Studies show that students with regular access to music-education have higher test scores, students have an easier time learning foreign languages, and regular access to music is a source of major stress release. CSPAA looks forward to exploring a broad range of musical styles with ample opportunities for students to musically express their unique backgrounds, interests, and talents."
