Our Story

Music and Culture

The dedicated music faculty at Studio A have always believed in the transformative power of music. For years, they taught music not only through technique and performance, but also through connection with cultures around the world. Their curiosity led them to partner with American Voices' Summer Programs which took them around the world to engage in a cross-cultural musical exchange. Witnessing the impact music has on such a global level, inspired the One World, One Music recital series in Austin Texas.

People and culture

Curating music performances to unite world music involves a careful blend of artistry and cultural understanding. We seek out musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds, each representing distinct musical traditions. We focus on performers who not only excel in their craft but also embrace collaboration across cultures. Our goal is that every season we create a lineup that celebrates unity, allowing each performer's unique sound to contribute to a shared global musical experience.
