Meet Ellen
Founder of Azure Artists, Ellen Dahlstrom is a soon-to-be graduate of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where she has honed her craft as a musician, leader, and arts advocate. Raised in South Florida, Ellen has worked with several respected local arts organizations including the Palm Beach Symphony, The Florida Grand Opera, and the Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation, serving as both a performer and arts administration intern.
From a young age, Ellen has been driven by a passion for creating meaningful musical experiences—not just for herself, but for the communities and musicians around her. As a young musician, she founded The Young Musicians of the Palm Beaches, a student-run organization that provided professional performance opportunties for high school age musicians while giving back to the community through outreach concerts and service.
Since then, Ellen has immersed herself in nearly every facet of the performing arts world. She has performed with orchestras and chamber ensembles, produced concerts and events at the Frost School of Music, and served as a contractor for a wide range of live events—including weddings, galas, and private gatherings. Her diverse experience gives her a unique perspective on both the artistic and logistical sides of the industry.
With a deep love for collaboration and a talent for organization, Ellen continues to build bridges between musicians and audiences—bringing live music to life in thoughtful, impactful ways.
