The Mugham Society of America (MSA) has one mission, which is to promote awareness of Azerbaijan and its traditional art culture, especially in the English speaking West.
We currently have three action-plans to fulfill our mission:

1. Use our website to promote Azerbaijani traditional art culture with the help of audio/video prensentations, articles and active web-forum discussions.

2. Promote Azerbaijan by a program of live mugham performances and lectures about Azerbaijan, mainly at colleges, universities, academies, and cultural and educational institutes.

3. The third action is the production of films - mainly documentary type. One version presents the best of Azerbaijan's culture.  The other version will be about the promotion of mugham in the West.  There will also be room for expansion into other areas of interest and importance.

Our organization is currently looking for a sponsor and a logistical coordinator to help realize these goals. An ideal coordinator will help us contact colleges/universities, academies, cultural and educational institutes to obtain invitations to present/perform and organize the events.

You can email us at: info@mugham.org ; Please, send us your contact information and we will respond as soon as possible

 
The majority of our past promotional activities have been organized and financed personally by Jeffrey Werbock and our founding members. Jeffrey has been involved in promoting traditional Azerbaijani musical art for more than two decades. He is a tireless devotee of Azerbaijani mugham and folk traditions. He is masterful performer of Azerbaijani musical instruments including kemancha, tar, oud and saz. You can learn more about Jeffrey by visiting his page here...
