The Robert E. Brown Center for World Music is a program of the School of Music at Illinois promoting understanding and appreciation of global music and dance. Established with a focus on active study of performance with tradition-bearing, folkloric artists, the center has emerged as a program embracing contemporary extensions of these forms and more. The center is dedicated to campus and community engagement programming that fosters respect and admiration for expressive culture across the globe as a presenter of performances, artist residencies and workshops.
