The Foundation for Iberian Music

The Foundation for Iberian Music is a cultural and educational initiative intended to promote and disseminate the classical and popular traditions of Iberian music, including those rooted in the Mediterranean, Latin American, and Caribbean cultures.

The Foundation presents interdisciplinary programs that bridge the gap between academic and general interests, including:

bullet Public events such as concerts, lectures, and exhibitions
bullet Scholarly activities including publications and conferences, as well as the development of a comprehensive archive of scores, books, and recordings
bullet Professional opportunities that foster exchange among students, scholars, performers, composers, musicologists, and music educators. Student employment, scholarships, dissertation grants, and fellowships will be available.

Drawing together world-renown musicians and scholars in the field, the Foundation for Iberian Music is the only endeavor of its kind entirely dedicated to the study, research, and performance of Iberian music. In addition to its general objectives, the Foundation aims at increasing knowledge of the reception and influence of Iberian music in the United States, and to further understanding of the links between folklore, contemporary popular genres, and classical music. It seeks insight into the multi-cultural, multi-linguistic constitution of the Iberian Peninsula, encompassing Christian, Islamic, and Jewish traditions.

The Foundation for Iberian Music encourages donations from institutions and individuals through The Graduate Center Foundation, Inc.
