Soundmix: Five Young Musicians

ABOUT THE FILM

SoundMix celebrates America’s rich musical landscape through the stories and sounds of five young musicians from diverse backgrounds. The project tells many different kinds of compelling stories – stories of American cultures, regions, and musical styles; stories of mentors passing on traditions; stories of emerging identities; and stories of how people come together through music. The program also represents strong role models from often underrepresented communities and perhaps most importantly, shows how a diverse society, music is a powerful resource that carries traditions, shapes identity, encourages cross-cultural understanding, and builds hope.
