AAMF is a non-profit organization building cross-cultural relationships and “musical bridges” between the USA and Azerbaijan
Music is a powerful tool for human interaction and communication, transcending cultural boundaries to connect people. The classical music of Azerbaijan, situated at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, exemplifies this ability. Our organization works to enhance awareness of Azerbaijan's unique musical culture while leading initiatives that diversify and enrich the classical music landscape in the USA. We are also committed to promoting knowledge of American music in Azerbaijan. These cross-cultural relationships foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse aesthetic values, encouraging respect for different approaches to music-making, thinking, and ways of life.
