Mission and Program Overview
Mission
To provide distinct, global, music performance and education.
Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| Workshops: By harnessing hundreds of volunteers hours valued at $15,482, we made it possible for master artists to instruct and inspire over 4,000 students through up-close interactive presentations from cultures outside of their own. Targeted for these workshops were students with minimal opportunity for exposure to cultural diversity. | $0 | $28,114 |
| Cultural Performances: Through musical performances to diverse audiences over 2,000 people, including military veterans at the Jesse Brown VA, were given exposure to culturally important music traditions from around the world. This program was dramatically helped by the donation of $2,965 worth of work by volunteers in 4 states. | $0 | $8,158 |
| Music Lessons: Permanent teaching facilities have been established in Chicago and the near suburbs for students to learn from one of the world's great tabla and sitar teachers and classes are also taught online to people around the world. We were able to keep our overhead very low for this program, like our others, by utilizing dozens of volunteer hours. | $0 | $5,211 |
