Afghanistan's National Institute of Music is the first and
finest institution for the education and nurturing of gifted young Afghan
musicians. Integral to the music program is a high quality academic education
ensuring that students are able to achieve at the highest level
internationally as musicians, music educators, academics and specialists.
The institute is committed to providing a dynamic,
challenging and safe learning environment for all students regardless of
gender, ethnicity or social circumstances. AINM also has a special focus on
supporting the most disadvantaged group in Afghan society "“ the orphans and
street vendors "“ to help them attain a vocation that will allow them to reach
their full potential, while contributing to their emotional healing.
Through the provision of an internationally-accredited
curriculum graduates will have the skills, creative vision and confidence
to contribute to the artistic, social and cultural life of Afghanistan, and the
rebuilding and revival of Afghan music traditions.
Performances by the students of the Afghanistan
National Institute of Music (ANIM) in the U.S. will demonstrate one of the
outstanding success stories in Afghanistan's recovery and celebrate the rebirth
of music in a country where the Taliban repressed all forms of musical
expression.
