Avaloch Farm Music Institute
Join 25 international artists for an evening of original music!
For the first time ever, OneBeat brings its thirteenth edition to Avaloch. Designed with the belief that the creation of music is an ideal vehicle for crossing cultural and political divides, OneBeat brings together 25 musicians selected from 18 different countries. An initiative of the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and produced by Found Sound Nation, OneBeat is cultivating a groundbreaking international network of leading artistic, technological, and social innovators in music.
This diverse group of musicians will be in residency at Avaloch for two weeks to exchange ideas, create original music, and develop meaningful friendships prior to touring venues and meeting with community partners in the New England area. Their creative process exemplifies how people from dramatically different musical backgrounds, with diverse training, conceptions of music, and aesthetics, can negotiate differences and find an interplay of cultures that maintains the integrity of each tradition.
During their time in residence, OneBeat Fellows will create and develop original music, to be shared for the first time at this one-of-a-kind performance in Avaloch’s concert barn. Don’t miss this exciting first glimpse, featuring artists from Japan, Egypt, Honduras, Kenya, and many more.
