Music is not only a reflection of human creativity and innovation but also a key method of communication and cross-cultural exchange and understanding. The Smithsonian Year of Music crosses disciplines, bringing together music-related resources in art, history, culture, science, and education. The Smithsonian has invited participating museums to create programming to support this initiative and highlight the world’s rich musical heritage.
