Common Ground on the Hill 1994-2008

W E L C O M E

For 14 years we have gathered as a multicultural community of musicians, artists, writers,
lecturers, actors and dancers, sharing skills with students of all ages, and with one another.

In this way, we believe that we
can improve ourselves, our communities and our
world as we meet, share and celebrate our arts and cultures on "common ground."

Common Ground on the Hill was founded on the premise that there is a common human thread unifying all people expressed in our various artistic traditions. Our mission is to make this thread a path towards human understanding, tolerance, fulfillment, and enjoyment. The embodiment of this path is a music and arts community, where master musicians, artists, craft people, and creative thinkers will provide a quality learning experience for an audience, which we will endeavor to increase in size, diversity, and influence. It is essential to the success of this mission that the artists, teachers, and students reflect local, national, and international communities.

It is our goal to provide the opportunity to teach and to study various musical instruments and art forms representing various ethnic and cultural traditions. To sponsor a series of musical and artistic events from cultural and ethnic groups who are marginalized in our society or who are in conflict with each other and listen to their voices, e.g., Indigenous People, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans, Euro-Americans, etc. To encourage and facilitate dialogue, by way of the arts among different cultural traditions, in order to discover that this artistic common ground unites us, and that, as a result, the world might become a more human place.
