DIVERSITY

Since its launch, Foundation for Modern Music has been dedicated to 'reflecting Houston' through its programming, even prior to the city being named 'Most Diverse'. This commitment to inclusion is reflected in the roster of featured composers and performers, and longstanding and ever-increasing partnerships with multicultural entities. The vision started in 1986 continues to be alive, today extending beyond Houston to the world. 

EDUCATION

FMM devotes a significant portion of efforts and funds directly to educational projects, for example sponsoring year-round embedded artist residencies as part of its arts initiatives with primary focus on schools serving at-risk students. For the public at large FMM and its collaborative partners have created and produced programs free to the public, drawing audiences of thousands and using the arts as a powerful conveyance of messages about health, anti-bullying, social issues, unity, cultural diversity, inclusion, and others.

what we do:
Engage. Impact. Transform.
