We need your help.
Please help us continue our mission to create a more tolerant, more curious, and more human world through music and dialogue.
Your donation will help us promote cultural and social awareness by using music to explore the universal yet personal and deeply complex journeys of finding identity, creating a sense of belonging, and building community. Funds are used for commissioning ALAANA (African, Latinx, Asian, Arab, and Native American) composers and supporting travel for performances, workshops, and engagements with community members, university students, and middle and high school students. By commissioning, performing, and recording the music of ALAANA composers, the Bardin-Niskala Duo provides a voice to under-represented groups while highlighting the inherent equal worth of all identities and communities.
Please consider joining our wonderful network of supporters. Together, we can heal with music.
