Elijah de la Motte is a young and talented cellist with the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Pre-College Division. Elijah comes from a family of 11 musicians, and you might think that it would be a recipe for nasty and divisive competition. However, Elijah has made it clear that a mutual love and appreciation for music has truly fostered a strong and supportive environment for him and his siblings to learn. We all know how lonely competition can leave us feeling, so I had to have Elijah on our podcast so that he can explain why having a strong support system allows him to stay happy and excited about the music he plays.
