Just like the people that make up the nation, the influences of American music came from every corner of the earth. When thrown into the cauldron of migration from north to south and east to west, when sung in the corn rows and wheat fields and floated upon the rivers that nourished us, those disparate musical flavors became American flavors. They assumed a new character that resembled this new homeland. And those sounds and songs and melodies have gone on to travel the world and back again.

The legacy of that music needs to be preserved, and the future of that music needs to be nourished. Your support helps ensure FARHOF, and the Boch Center, can continue to celebrate the lifeblood of America’s musical and cultural heritage through exclusive exhibitions, one-of-a-kind memorabilia and artifacts on view, multi-media presentations, lectures, concerts, and more!
