The Center for World Music is a San Diego, California nonprofit organization that sponsors world music, dance, and cultural education and performances.[1]
History[edit]
The organization was founded in 1963 as the American Society for Eastern Arts[2] by Samuel H. Scripps and his wife Luise E. Scripps. Initially focused primarily on Asian cultures, the organization began by recruiting Indian musician Ali Akbar Khan[3] and Indian dancer Balasaraswati[4]. By the mid-1970s, the organization had 45 artists in residence, many from India and Indonesia, who trained hundreds of American students at their former location in Berkeley, California.[5] In 1971, the Center began to offer study abroad programs for its American students.[6] In 1974, the organization's name was changed from American Society for Eastern Arts to the Center for World Music, becoming one of the first institutions dedicated to world music. [7]
Subsequent Growth[edit]
In 1979, ethnomusicologist Robert E. Brown[8], who originated the term “world music[9],” brought the Center for World Music to San Diego. In the 1980s, the Center began offering summer programs at Flower Mountain[10] in Payangan, Bali, a retreat center built by Dr. Brown.

Current Programs[edit]
World Music in the Schools[edit]
In 1999, the Center launched its World Music in the Schools[17] program, inspired in part by music educator Shinichi Suzuki. Through this program, the Center offers more than 50 artist residencies each year, featuring teaching artists from around the globe working with students in local K–12 schools[18].
World Music Concerts[edit]
The Center's world music concert series has included a series of three events in 2018 featuring local San Diego refugee artists.[19][20] In September 2021, the Center launched an ongoing series of world music and dance concerts in partnership with the Mingei International Museum[21] in San Diego's Balboa Park.
Odissi Dance School[edit]
In the 1990s, the Center began offering classes[22] in Odissi dance in collaboration with the Orissa Dance Academy[23], in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The classes are taught by visiting artists from India, including Gangadhar Pradhan, Guru Manoranjan Pradhan[24], and Yudhisthir Nayak[25].
