Mission
Statement: Music Bridges International, Inc.
Music
Bridges International, Inc., is a not-for-profit organization that serves
as a “musical missionary” by sponsoring bilateral and multilateral
musical “events” to increase awareness of music’s power
to shape and transform society.
Bridges uses the non-verbal international language of music to help people
in two or more countries become more conversant with each other’s
culture while celebrating their own artistic heritage. Bridges helps plan
and sponsor cross-cultural artistic festivals. A centerpiece event –
usually a concert or series of concerts – may be accompanied by
educational activities (lectures, master classes, workshops, exhibits,
visits to local schools and conservatories), recordings, competitions
and the commissioning of new works, in partnership with local media outlets.
Bridges events feature nationally and internationally known artists performing
the works of living composers as well as traditional repertory (both classical
and local folk and popular music). A goal of Bridges is to foster a sustained
musical presence in the host community after the event is over. Bridges
also offers communities and organizations assistance in developing similar
events.
Music Bridges International is exempt from Federal income tax under Internal
Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). All contributions are tax deductible.
