Organizations Filed Purposes: The Organization drives community transformation across the Americas and around the world through high-caliber initiatives at the intersection of music and social impact. Three principal initiatives propel forward the mission, i) The Orchestra of the Americas - a Pan-American orchestra ii) The Global Leaders Program - an executive program for musician-entrepreneurs; and iii) Music In Action Journal - an online knowledge hub assisting practitioners working on the frontlines of the music-for-social-impact sector.

To pursue musical excellence and develop young leaders with cross cultural understanding.

The Orchestra of the Americas canvases 200,000 musicians annually - many from marginalized communities - inspiring 6,000 to annually enter its audition process, through which 80-100 outstanding Fellows are selected to participate from 20-25 countries. The Orchestra delivers the equivalent of 1 year of world-class conservatory music training through a six-week concert tour free of cost to participants. Of more than 1500 graduates of The Orchestra of the Americas to date, surveys indicate that 92% now occupy professional jobs in global orchestras from St. Petersburg to London, from Sao Paulo to Mexico City.

The Global Leaders Program empowers the next generation of change-makers in music to transform lives and communities through an innovative nine-month Executive Graduate Certificate in Social Entrepreneurship, Cultural Agency, Policy Leadership, Organizational Management, and Teaching Artistry. Led in partnership with 9 top universities and think tanks including Harvard, Duke, Georgetown, McGill, NYU, and Bard College; a world-class Faculty of Nobel Laureates, Grammy winners, Polar Prize awardees, and TED presenters; and a network of institutional Fieldwork hosts spanning 40+ countries - the Program is offered annually to a select Cohort of 50 rising leaders in the field from around the globe.
