OUR MISSION

Our mission is to enhance the health and vitality of our community through music. We believe in the ability of music to transcend boundaries, bridge gaps, and uplift spirits.

CORE VALUES

Connection. Community. Inclusion. 

Connection through live music

Live music brings people together and strengthens our community. 

We believe that live music is a powerful force for connection. It bridges generations, inspires curiosity, and expands our worldview through cultural exchange. We work to strengthen the artistic, economic, and intercultural landscape of our community. We endeavor to support our neighboring businesses as a driver of economic development that helps other industries thrive. 

Community stewardship

These are your venues. We honor their history while building a shared future together. 

We strive to cultivate a sense of shared ownership among all who enter our space, including artists, audience members, students, elders, new visitors, and long-time supporters. We celebrate both venues’ storied histories while inviting new generations to contribute to their future. We do not take for granted the support of our community of members, donors, friends, musicians, sponsors, and volunteers.

Radical inclusion

Everyone belongs here, no matter who they are or where they come from. 

We welcome artists, staff, and community members of any race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, class, size, and appearance. Our aim is to create a sense of belonging, where all feel welcome and invited to participate. We work to remove barriers to participation so that the joy of live music can be available to all members of our community. We strive to make our programming and audiences ever more diverse and inclusive, expanding representation and access for underrepresented voices.
