CTMD’s Archive is the largest collection documenting New York’s immigrant performing arts traditions. CTMD co-curated major programs at the 20 Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall, has produced a number of major documentary films and recordings (including six on the Smithsonian Folkways label), and provided music for a record of the sounds of humanity aboard the Voyager spacecraft. Our Heritage Sunday Festival (at Lincoln Center Out of Doors) and New York World Festival (at Central Park SummerStage) are among the city’s largest regular showcase events of immigrant performing arts, as were two previous CTMD programs, the Queens Ethnic Music and Dance Festival (1976-1991) and Folk Parks (1993-2000). CTMD has founded seven 501(c)(3) cultural organizations, including the first youth academies for traditional Mexican and Peruvian music on the East Coast, and New York’s main annual Dominican, Indo-Caribbean, Colombian and Albanian festivals. A 1980s project with young musicians in the Bronx created Cherish The Ladies, now global ambassadors for women’s involvement in Irish traditional music. In the 1970s, our work with senior Jewish musicians in New York helped to spark an international revival of klezmer. In the 1960s, the organization assisted in the development of models for ethnic programming at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and Newport Folk Festivals. CTMD was a one of the first US-based presenters dedicated to performances of traditions from around the world. The organization’s work has had significant national and international impact.
