ELENA is a creative studio founded by musician and creative director Michelle Zarco. Through performances, artistic direction, and immersive gatherings, ELENA explores music as a portal for presence, beauty, and collective transformation.

About Michelle

I started ELENA because I wanted a space to bring together the things I love most—making music, shaping ideas, and working meaningfully with people I admire.

My background is in classical performance and artist management, but this project is something more personal. It’s where music meets visual storytelling, quiet rituals, and the joy of creating things slowly, with intention.

The work takes different forms: a concert in an unexpected space, the careful shaping of an artist’s identity, a seasonal gathering or sound journey rooted in ritual, and storytelling projects that weave music into everyday life. Each project grows from the same root—a devotion to music, beauty, and meaningful connection.
