TEDxHuntsville Launches the TEDx Global Music Project
Amy Robinson is the Organizer of TEDxHuntsville, she has initiated the TEDx Global Music Project with the hopes to compile and share TEDx music from events around the globe. Below, she introduces the initiative:
Since its inception, the TEDx program has delivered riveting presentations to hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. I am excited to announce the launch of a new chapter in independently organized ideas worth spreading: The TEDx Global Music Project.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow called music “the universal language of mankind.” In much the same way that the TED Open Translation Project expands the reach of TEDtalks, the TEDx Global Music Project aims to share “songs worth hearing” from TEDx events.
The TEDx Global Music Project is an independently organized initiative, created with help from TEDx Organizers around the globe.
Nearly 2,000 TEDx events have taken place around the world -- many have featured carefully curated musical performances that range from unprecedented string ensembles to French fusion jazz. The TEDx Global Music Project launches with 30 spectacular performances. We will roll out weekly additions on the TEDx blog and on the site, and hope eventually to offer free MP3 downloads.
