Crossing Borders Music
The mission of Crossing Borders Music is to use music to promote the dignity of people from all cultures.
We envision a more harmonious world in which people experience musical and artistic dimensions of world cultures in such a way that influences how they shop, invest, travel, volunteer, do business, and live their day-to-day lives.
To this end, Crossing Borders Music produces moving music that tells compelling stories by composers from under-represented cultures—music that invites audiences to challenge assumptions and learn more. Crossing Borders Music also presents educational programs to foster young people’s awareness of the diversity and richness of cultures and their music.
