DOOR DOG MUSIC PRODUCTIONS creates an awareness of the diversity of music by presenting music of people from various cultures and backgrounds throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and the world. We make the performers' music and culture more accessible by providing resources for those who have an interest in their music and culture. Our on-going world music concerts, workshops, lectures and educational residencies cultivate a context and framework by which musicians, students, educators, and general audience can deepen their understanding and appreciation of world music and the associated cultures. Door Dog Music Productions produces the widely acclaimed annual SAN FRANCISCO WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL, best known for its original ground-breaking commissions where international masters unite to create new music while remaining true to their cultural roots. As people's differences are inherently linked to greater universals, Door Dog Music Productions builds bridges towards this understanding
