Welcome to Elevate

CAMP 2025

This August, the iconic Tata Theatre at the NCPA will come alive with the energy, dreams, and brilliance of 120 + children as Elevate 2025 unfolds a pioneering, a whole-child education initiative that merges creativity, community, and purpose.

Founded by internationally acclaimed violinist Mika Nishimura and Educator Project Specialist Katheryn Murillo, Elevate is not just a music camp, it’s a transformative platform redefining what education can feel like when joy, inclusion, and leadership take centre stage.

From August 11–17, children aged 10–13, from government schools, private institutions, and NGOs, will participate in a dynamic week of music, movement, wellness, and leadership development. The immersive experience concludes with a powerful public showcase on Sunday, August 17 at the Tata Theatre, inviting Mumbai to witness the impact of creative empowerment in action.

“Elevate is a bold experiment in child learning where children are not just taught, but seen, heard, and inspired to lead,” shares Mika Nishimura. “They emerge not only as performers, but as change makers.”
