Mission statement:
The mission of the Institute for Music, History, and Cultural Traditions, Inc. (IMHCT)
is to celebrate the essential role of music in human history and culture,
and to promote understanding and enjoyment of the musical arts
-- as they manifest in history and culture --
through research, scholarship, and public performance.
The Institute's mission emphasizes a strong commitment
to an interdisciplinary approach.
That commitment encompasses integration of the humanities and the arts, and honors all genres of music.
While openly embracing all world cultures,
our focus will be, in general, on North American, Celtic,
and British Isles traditions.
To this end, the Institute will produce publications,
events, and workshops;
sponsor and provide in-school programs, K-12:
provide public history courses;
and maintain online resources.
