Mission statement
The American Music Research Center supports the research, performance and preservation of all musics of the Americas, with a particular emphasis on the diversity of musics of the United States. As a scholarly and inclusive organization, we are committed to public outreach and community engagement听as well as serving a diversity of musicians, academics, librarians and researchers.
The AMRC has embarked on a research project aimed at documenting, preserving and engaging with diverse musical and cultural influences in and around Pueblo, Colorado. Backed by a 精品SM在线影片 Research & Innovation Seed Grant and a 精品SM在线影片 Outreach Award from the Office for Outreach and Engagement, Soundscapes of the People explores ways that musical traditions have served to bridge social, ethnic, urban/rural and religious identities.
