Key to Change Founder and Director Dr. Quinton Morris was recognized this month in the Renton Community Foundation’s
League of Extraordinary Givers for his work building our violin studio
in South King County. This annual philanthropy award is a tremendous
honor given to individuals who use their time and talent to empower the
local community in Renton.
"I
would like to sincerely thank those who have helped fund the Key to
Change Scholarship. It is an amazing opportunity to be practicing with
the renowned Dr. Morris and for that, I am forever grateful. He has
taught me so many things regarding not just the music we are learning,
but various concepts that can also be applied to the real world later
on. He has been instrumental in not only the progression of my skills as
a violinist, but my character and my mindset on life as well. All of
this would not have been possible without the help of the donors. I
would like to personally thank all of those who have helped in changing
my life for the better."

Rachel Barton Pine Residency
Last month world-renowned concert violinist Rachel Barton Pine visited Key to Change to work with students on their violin repertoire. This event was sponsored by our community partner Early Music Seattle,
and following the master class 15 of our students and their families
attended Pine’s performance of J. S. Bach’s Complete Sonatas and
Partitas at Benaroya Hall.
It was a wonderful experience for our students, and for many of them it was their first time seeing a professional violin recital in such a renowned venue!
