AANMI
CONNECTING CULTURE
The Asia / America New Music Institute (AANMI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting cultural exchange between Asia and the Americas through the creation and performance of new music concerts. AANMI concerts allow audience members to experience key narratives at the intersections of Asian and American cultures, past and present.
EXTRA-MUSICAL IMPACT
AANMI aims to help the Asia-Pacific region establish peaceful relationships by using music as a means for mutual understanding, at the highest levels of political engagement. In each place we give a concert, we strive to engage with the local community, either through cultural experiences or through educational activities, such as masterclasses at music schools and colleges.
CREATING TOGETHER
AANMI has presented chamber concert programs, workshops, masterclasses, lectures, and public outreach programs in Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, New York City, Hanoi, Bangkok, Seoul, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Salem (Massachusetts), and Central & Southern Utah. Concerts have featured artists such as Ryu Goto, Matthew Aucoin, Davóne Tines, Rachel Lee Priday, Yuga Cohler, Kah Chun Wong, Narong Prangcharoen, Xiaogang Ye, Kojiro Umezaki, and Jun Hong Loh, in direct collaboration with over 150 other performing artists and composers.
