Music is the heart and soul of any culture. And every aspect of our music today, whether classical, pop, rock, or jazz, has been influenced by the cultures of central and eastern Europe. The music of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Roumania, Banat, as well as the rest of eastern Europe, has deep roots in the folklore and traditions of its people. These cultures, through the music created by them, have had a profound impact on the development of music history. Yet many musicians and non-musicians alike know little about the origins or current developments of such music.

Music Foundation in our Scrapbook of newspaper articles and pictures.
It is the goal of the Alemannia Music Foundation to educate both musicians and the general public about this music so that we can develop a better understanding of its origins and influences in our culture and achieve an appreciation for the ethnic diversities and strengths in our society. The AMF provides workshops and participatory performance opportunities to musicians throughout the Southern California area wishing to study this music. And through such performances, the AMF provides public education and appreciation for the richness and diversity of this music. The AMF also seeks to promote the study of central and eastern European music by providing grants to schools and other educational institutions, as well as supporting civic and cultural societies, clubs, and organizations who seek music education and appreciation for their members.
The AMF is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization which is supported by donations from private individuals and organizations such as the Montrose-Verdugo Chamber of Commerce, Old World Restaurant, the Phoenix Club, the Austrian American Club, the Donauschwaebische Vereinigung, the German American League, the Newbury Park Rotary, the Laguna Concert Band, the Cathedral City Chamber of Commerce, and others. The AMF is an active member of the German American League and supports member events and activities.
