Mission Statement
The Cedar’s mission is to promote inter-cultural appreciation and understanding through the presentation of global music and dance. The Cedar is committed to artistic excellence and integrity, diversity of programming, support for emerging artists, and community outreach.
About This Cause
Since 1989, The Cedar has been a leader in presenting acclaimed, innovative musicians from around the world. We serve 65,000 people per year through 250 public allages concert events featuring artists who perform in all genres and traditions. The Cedar’s stage has been graced by acclaimed legends and visionaries like Greg Brown, Mavis Staples, Ani DiFranco, Femi Kuti, Doc Watson, and Amadou and Mariam. But The Cedar’s impact goes beyond introducing audiences to great live music: The Cedar is grounded in the belief that the arts, and music in particular, is an underused resource for community building and economic development. Serving East African communities has emerged as an organizational priority because our neighborhood is home to the largest Somali diaspora in North America. Midnimo our new program that hosts residencies with Somali artists continues to grow, placing The Cedar at the center of a revival of live Somali music traditions.
