Since 1992, the mission of American Voices has been
to further the appreciation and understanding of American
music and culture, especially in developing countries,
countries emerging from conflict or periods of isolation
and those lacking opportunities for cultural exchange
and dialogue with the United States. We are just back
from one of our most challenging projects ever –
the Unity Academy in Erbil, Northern Iraq where we
brought ten days of workshops, rehearsals and gala
performances to over 300 Iraqi musicians, dancers
and actors. For more information and to see more photos
and video from this project and others, go to
