A Nonprofit Musical Initiative
We celebrate the unity of diverse musical traditions — bringing Indian and Western instruments, composers, and communities together in shared artistic discovery.
Lothlorien Inter-Cultural Music, Inc. exists to foster a deeper public appreciation of the performing arts — with a focus on music and its related disciplines. We create opportunities for audiences to experience live performance, support the growth of emerging musicians, and offer concerts, workshops, seminars, and educational programs that serve and enrich our communities.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1981, our work is exclusively charitable, literary, and educational in purpose — rooted in the belief that music transcends cultural boundaries and belongs to everyone.
