American Voices’ American Music Abroad program, which is designed to communicate America’s musical contributions to the global music scene and foster cross-cultural communication with global audiences, is accepting applications through Jan. 6.
The program tours will focus on younger and under-served audiences in more than 50 countries around the world with little or no access to live American musical performances. American Music Abroad ensembles travel in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America and Eastern Europe. Prior to the respective tours, each ensemble will present a tour kick-off concert in Washington, D.C..
The American Music Abroad website features information about the ensembles selected to serve as cultural ambassadors, the countries they visit, and their journeys as they tour the globe.
Applications are being accepted at amvoices.org.
