Causes: Arts & Culture, Bands & Ensembles
Mission: After extensive consultation and visioning, the dms was formed to connect local communities with live music. From international and state-wide festivals to town, development and even street-focused concerts, the dms produces public and private live music events and educational opportunities for amateur and professional performers, and local and temporary audiences.
Programs: Primarily through tax-deductible donations and special membership programs, the dms is able to coordinate events of its own performing groups and teachers, and for groups that ask for help, in addition to providing affiliated groups with tax advantageous fiscal sponsorship. By sending amateur and professional musicians into local communities, those communities not only benefit from live music on their doorstep, but enjoy expanded opportunities to participate in larger music-related events.
