Planetary Music Movement
Groupmuse Partner
234 Attendees hosted
Led by Dara Hankins and Theon Freeman, the Planetary Music Movement guides Groupmuse to grow beyond the historical dominance of European ethnocentrism within the classical music tradition, by celebrating historical and contemporary musical traditions of the planet, particularly and imminently through the inclusion and celebration of works by artists of African descent.
Within this context, the Movement offers monthly forums and concerts on the Groupmuse platform featuring the voices, stories, and music of the rising Black classical and historical artists of our time. Under the hospice of the Groupmuse Foundation, currently, the Movement is its core venture to support educational and outreach projects that welcome people of all backgrounds into the Groupmuse community, so as to diversify the complexion of the wider classical music world — the performers, the composers, and the listeners.
