Twice a year (Fall and Spring) the week-long World Tour of Music residency connects students and community with unique cultures from major world groups. The program aims to broaden communities’ positive exposure to different cultures, help them recognize and respect differences and similarities between themselves and persons of other cultures, and strengthen their own cultural identity.
The program presents high-caliber, accessible international artists to the local community, and young people in particular, for a multi-faceted, lasting experience. It also integrates art into a broader social, cultural, political and historical framework; and encourages communities to explore issues and concerns of diverse cultures.
