Music of the World consists of top notch musicians . Our acclaimed programs provide multi-cultural music from the four corners of the earth, instilling the love of all types of musical traditions to our listeners. We embrace many different kinds of music, ranging from country and western to eastern mystical, from jazz guitar to microtonal setar, from rock & roll to traditional we strive to explore the intrinsic values of music in it’s many forms. Our philosophy is that music bridges the past, present, and future. The challenge today lies not only to understand what has been done in the past, but also to open the way of the future toward a better understanding of cultural music. America is a vast melting pot. The understanding and appreciation of the cultural diversity of our nation is vital to promote a peaceful, cohesive society. The philosopher Diderot said “good music is very close to primitive language”. The universal language of music is a good medium to achieve this understanding. |
