We do this through free, accessible programs in community spaces in service and affirmation of our communities and collaborators. The mission of Crossing Borders Music is to use music to promote the dignity of people from all cultures. In FY25, Crossing Borders Music shared 61 concerts reaching approximately 2960 adults and 4160 students, primarily in Chicago Public Schools. Crossing Borders Music also added 86 videos to its online music library - both world premiere string quartet performances and videos documenting Rohingya musicians' performance practices in the Cox's Bazar Refugee camps of Bangladesh. These videos of Rohingya music are a part of CBM's news Rohingya Music Virtual Library, one of the world's largest collections of online information about Rohingya music, created and published to document endangered Rohingya cultural traditions.
