MISSION Musicopia's mission is to bring a vibrant combination of music performance and education to students and communities throughout the Delaware Valley, with a particular focus on geographical areas that lack adequate music programs or are cut off from the region's rich cultural life. With the goal of inspiring a deep love and knowledge of great music, Musicopia's programs promote the transformative powers of music, the value of musical discipline and an appreciation of cultural diversity. ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW Founded in 1974, Musicopia offers a wide range of music education programs throughout the Delaware Valley. In a given year, Musicopia presents approximately 600 programs that reach over 40,000 students and community members annually. Professional ensembles and solo musicians make up Musicopia's roster of teaching artists representing diverse musical traditions such as classical, jazz, Latin, African, Brazilian and Middle Eastern. 85% of our operating budget goes to programs and services with the majority of those resources benefitting low-income communities. VISION Life and music are inseparable. We envision a community where all students have full access to comprehensive music education and are given the opportunity to learn any instrument of their choosing; where all parents take an active and supportive role in the development of their children's musical skills; and where music is fully embraced as a key component of every student's curriculum.
