What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
World Music in the Schools and Communities
World Music in the Schools fosters awareness and understanding of the world's performing arts and cultures and brings artistic resources, unique focus, and exceptional expertise of the Center to students across San Diego County. Program participants receive ongoing, hands-on instruction in world music and dance traditions from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe. The project impacts children (ages 5-18), parents, and school staff. The artistic merit of the project has been recognized by ongoing support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the California Arts Council, and the San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture.
World Music Concert Series
The Center for World Music's Annual Concert Series presents distinguished San Diego artists and visiting national and international artists of traditional world music and dance in venues across the county. Ticket sales at these events help support our other programs in communities in need.
Access to the Arts for Seniors
Access to the Arts for Seniors provides enriching experiences for seniors living in affordable housing communities. This program aims to reach seniors who have limited access to cultural enrichment due to socio-economic and physical limitations. The Center for World Music presents the world’s music and dance in the comfort of their communities.
Odissi Dance School
Since the early 1990s, the Center for World Music (CWM) has offered Odissi dance classes in the San Diego area. These courses are taught by distinguished master dance teachers from Odisha, India, and by the Patnaik Sisters. In collaboration with the Orissa Dance Academy, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, the CWM brings visiting artists from India to San Diego for extended teaching residencies.
In addition to studying the fundamental techniques of Odissi performance, CWM Odissi students have the opportunity to blossom into seasoned artists by working closely with accomplished dance teachers from India. This unique opportunity has provided these students with a direct link to the source of this dance, exposing them to the teaching traditions of India and enriching their understanding of Indian culture.
