2026 Benefit Concert for
Bergen CASA

Led by the students of the Bergen County chapter of Zooming Thru Music Inc, we hosted a benefit concert in the summer of 2026 in support of the Bergen CASA branch.

Matthew Cavallo for Wayne 5th Ward Municipal Council on Instagram: "Friday night I attended the 6th Annual Benefit Concert for Found Abilities, presented by Zooming Thru Music and the Tri-M Music Honor Society at Wayne Hills High School. It was a wonderful evening showcasing the incredible talent of Wayne’s young musicians while supporting a truly worthwhile cause. I was pleased to attend alongside @sencorrado and @mayorvergano. Found Abilities, located here in Wayne, does outstanding work in our community, creating opportunities and promoting inclusion for individuals with disabilities. Events like this not only highlight the talents of our students but also demonstrate the generosity and compassion that make Wayne such a great community. Congratulations to everyone who helped make the evening a success! 🎶👏"

Five Years of Connection, Compassion, and Music—Together, We've Zoomed Thru Isolation

Since 2020, Zooming Thru Music has turned isolation into inspiration—using the power of music to reach hearts and lift spirits during one of the most challenging times in recent history. Born out of quarantine and driven by compassion, we united students across the East Coast to deliver virtual performances to those most impacted by loneliness: nursing home residents, those incarcerated, children in care, and many others who live disconnected from the outside world.

Now, as we celebrate five years of service, we honor every note played, every smile shared, and every connection made. What started as a response to a moment of crisis has grown into a joyful movement—one fueled by creativity, empathy, and community.

Thank you to all our volunteers, supporters, and audience members. Here’s to five years of bringing people together—and to many more years of making music that matters.

Giving Back to Communities

Over the past years, Zooming Thru Music has made remarkable strides in generating community support through diverse fundraising initiatives. Collectively, we have raised $81,864, enabling us to sustain and expand our outreach programs that bring hope and connection to those we serve.

Bergen County CASA on Instagram: "A Standing Ovation for Zoomingthrumusic Inc.! Last night, an extraordinary group of talented young musicians organized the CASAthon Music Concert at the Fort Lee Music Hall with one inspiring goal: to raise $5,000 in support of Bergen CASA. Thanks to the generosity of the hall’s owner—who also live-streamed the event—the evening was truly unforgettable. The program featured moving words and performances from Seojin Kim, Esen Edeer (who spoke about her family’s experience fostering eight children), Avantika Laksham (who shared her passion for the CASA mission and wowed us with her beautiful singing), and Jay Ahn, who closed the evening with a powerful message. The concert also showcased spectacular performances by Madison Chay, Sienna Chung, Abigail Lee, Mina Kim, Jay Ahn, Juyoung Lee, Sarah Ahn, Sophia Kim, Helena Kim, Seojin Park, Annie Wei, Alicia Chung, Ayden Chung, Spencer Choi, Willow Yoo, Yebin Lee, Taira Matsumoto, Brianna Kim, and Helena Kim. From the inspiring speeches to the breathtaking musicianship—and even a silent auction during intermission—every detail of the evening reflected the heart and dedication of these remarkable youth. We are deeply grateful to Zoomingthrumusic Inc. for using their voices, their talent, and their passion to make a difference for children in foster care."
