A community to create, share, and listen to music and sounds, regardless of skill level: we all have something to share.

Music is a window into a culture or community, that crosses boundaries and borders. We can learn about values, ancestral lineage, history, and so much more through the sounds that we identify with or have encountered. The Fletcher Music Diplomacy Club seeks to facilitate this exchange, so that we can actively participate in music's two defining qualities: its ubiquity across human experiences as well as its uniqueness across the world. Club activities will include musical jam sessions, lecture events, public performances, and opportunities to share music within the group.
