Over the past 15 years, Found Sound Nation has worked with a diverse array of institutions and partners, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Doris Duke Foundation, TED, MIT, The New School, and many more, to create music-centered socially impactful programming. These initiatives - from songwriting workshops with incarcerated youth to music-making & listening seminars for MIT entrepreneurs - cemented our belief in the transformative potential of co-creation across geographic, cultural, and demographic boundaries. In 2012, we launched OneBeat, a groundbreaking music diplomacy program in partnership with the U.S. State Department. OneBeat brought together outstanding musicians from around the world to collaborate, create, and develop new models for civic and social engagement through music.
