She is a founding member of the Mesa State Faculty Piano Trio and the Las Americas Piano Trio.
Elias began his musical studies at the age of 5 at the National Center of Arts in San Salvador. He is director of strings/orchestra at Mesa State, concertmaster of the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra and the music director of the Symphony in the Valley in Glenwood Springs.
