Mission
To promote intercultural appreciation and understanding through the presentation of global music and dance. The Cedar is committed to artistic excellence and integrity, diversity of programming, support for emerging artists and community outreach.
Program accomplishments
- The Cedar, a 501(c)(3) organization, has never wavered from its original vision of building a world where all communities and ages can connect over high-quality, original, global music. Throughout 2023, we presented more than 100 artists and bands, originating from more than thirty countries. These performers, as well as local and national artists, choose to play The Cedar because of our enthusiastic audiences, our near-perfect acoustics, and our highly-danceable floor. Our programming included the return of our annual Global Roots Festival, a three-day music festival featuring musicians from Ethiopia, Estonia, Afghanistan, India and Kenya. More than 500 community members - including many students - participated in the free festival.Expenses $1,142,858
