The Azerbaijan-American Music Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering cross-cultural connections and "musical bridges" between the USA and Azerbaijan. Founded out of a passion for classical music and education, the foundation organizes educational partnerships, seminars, concerts, conferences, masterclasses, publications, and competitions to promote Azerbaijani classical music in America and American classical music in Azerbaijan.
Our mission is to make music accessible to everyone, highlighting the historical and cultural influences that connect American and Azerbaijani music. We encourage broad participation from individuals of all ages and backgrounds who appreciate music's beauty and its impact on the soul, regardless of their musical knowledge or experience.
