The Year’s Final Notes – A Musician-Curated Classical Concert Join us for our end-of-year classical concert at the Mildred B. Cooper Chapel in Bella Vista—one of the region’s most breathtaking venues.

Hello Friends,

We’re so excited to share something truly special with you — a rare behind-the-scenes video featuring Professor Emeritus Malinee Jayasinghe-Peris, a legendary pianist and cherished mentor to our OpenStringZ students! 🎹✨

At 96 years old, Professor Peris is still inspiring the next generation with the same grace and brilliance that took her from Sri Lanka to the Royal College of Music in London, studying under Louis Kentner and Leon Fleisher, and performing across the globe — from Warsaw to New York.

She’s a Chopin Competition prizewinner, a Steinway Artist, and a radiant soul who’s been guiding our students since 2021. This video gives you a glimpse of her warmth, humor, and deep artistry as she prepares for our upcoming concert.
