*****************************
*HarmoNYom is an all-volunteer, emerging non-profit organization
and a sponsored project of the
New York Foundation for the Arts (www.NYFA.org).
NYFA is a 501(c)(3), tax-exempt organization founded in 1971 to work with the arts community throughout New York State to develop and facilitate programs in all disciplines.
" Born in Algeria of a Spanish mother and a Parisian father, raised in Angola, Tunisia, France and USA, I am a soul of few worlds... I can’t remember a time when music was not in my life! Through my extensive travels as a world citizen, I always been fascinated and intrigued by how music affects our social structures.
The concept for HarmoNYom was born out of an urge! That is what I felt when I first encountered Indian Classical Music! When I first heard its music I was spellbound. At that time, I didn’t know how or when, but I knew with absolute certainty that this was what I wanted to do and how I dreamed to put music to use in the world. One year later, In 2008, driven by my passion for world music and visual art and the desire to promote the maintenance of cultural diversity in New York and worldwide, I founded HarmoNYom!
By nature of its vision, HarmoNYom fills now a crucial role in the arts and in the classical music field;
By promoting decades of dedication of South Asian musicians and providing a platform for both artists and audiences to share their love and passion for Indian classical music, HarmoNYom is maintaining cross-cultural diversity and multi-ethnic heritage in a city referred to as melting pot, New York!
In 2012, as a global community,
I see HarmoNYom joining forces with worldwide organizations, collaborating with schools, universities, venues, festivals, visual artists, worldwide musicians... integrating wider social networks to promote and exchange ideas in efforts to build alliances, and create more opportunities for rising artists within our social, spiritual and cultural work.
A writing from the Talmud occurs to me: “to save one life is to save the world entire”. Music can transform a life. It certainly has transformed mine, and continues to do so!"
