Program accomplishments

  • Supporting projects that help communities conduct music preservation work worldwide. These projects normally involve teams of around five people, creating intangible heritage projects that will reach wide communities over the course of several years.
    Expenses $4,050 · grants $4,050
  • Publishing works of importance to the music of different communities. These include books, zines, CDs, and instrument designs. Each publication is expected to reach between 2000 and 3000 people, with long term impact on more people through material acquisition by libraries and research collections.
  • Create an international community of people doing scholarly, non-academic music work within their own ethnic or cultural community. Bring them together to create a network of sharing methodologies, thus stimulating a grass-roots style of folklore and ethnomusicological study rooted in Socratic methods.
