New name
As of today, October 24, 2007, Music for the People will be known as Cultures in Harmony. Due to the prior existence of Music For People, we have been driven to pursue a name that more accurately identifies our mission and one that can be uniquely associated with our international work.
We are proud to identify "Cultures in Harmony" as our new name. It calls attention to the meaning behind the phrase "cultural harmony" while playing on the meaning of harmony as both musical and political concord. Meanwhile, the inclusion of "cultures" in the name emphasizes that cultural diplomacy is the cornerstone of our mission.
In order to ensure that our image retains a personal touch, we have adopted a motto phrase: "We bring people together through music."
We have also acquired a new e-mail address: culturesinharmony@gmail.com. By January 1, 2008, we hope to launch a new website, but for the time being, the current website has been revised to reflect the name change.
The culmination of this process will be our incorporation as an independent non-profit, but in the mean time, we are happy to remain fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, which means they will accept all donations on our behalf. If you are applying to participate in our 2008 projects, the application fee must still be made out to Music for the People.
We apologize for any confusion caused by the name change, and invite you to contact us with any questions.
