We are members of the Northern California folk music and dance community, all of us performers, teachers, students, and enthusiasts embracing countless musical styles and cultural traditions. We work together to present, preserve, and encourage wider participation in traditional music, song, dance, and performing arts.
While LTA is new as a nonprofit organization, many of us have known and worked together, for over thirty years, to keep traditional music, song, and dance thriving throughout California. This new organization allows us to bring new talents, new energy, and new ideas to our work – work that we intend to continue long into the future.
Our mission statement reads as follows:
“Lark Traditional Arts is dedicated to creating educational events and assets that bring people together through traditional song, music, dance, and arts.”
Lark Traditional Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 83-2424940)
