Celebrating Music, Connection, and Belonging

At Kutandara, we believe that music has the power to dissolve boundaries and remind us that we are all part of something larger — one human family, sharing one sky.

Through the joyful rhythms of Zimbabwean marimba, we teach not just music, but the essential skills that make communities thrive: teamwork, compassion, patience, and connection.

Your gift to our Fall campaign, Under One Sky, helps us keep this circle growing — creating opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn, play, and belong.

The Power of Music to Unite

Every week in our classrooms, students stand side-by-side at the marimbas — listening, adjusting, and finding their rhythm together. They learn to lead and to follow, to support one another, and to create something beautiful that no one person could make alone.

Under One Sky is more than a concert or a campaign. It’s our ongoing invitation to come together — across generations, cultures, and life experiences — to rediscover what living in harmony feels like.

Your donation sustains this work:

• Keeping our youth and community classes accessible through scholarships
• Supporting instructors who mentor with patience, joy, and cultural respect
• Maintaining our instruments, rehearsal space, and outreach programs
• Creating opportunities for students to perform, share, and shine

Why It Matters

When a new student walks into class, they might feel uncertain — unsure they will fit in. But within minutes, the group lifts them up, shows them a pattern, and makes space for their sound. That’s what belonging looks like.

In a world that too often divides, we are building community through rhythm and relationship.
Every note is an act of connection.
Every song is a lesson in empathy.
Every concert is a celebration of what we can create together.

Together, Under One Sky

The rhythms of Zimbabwe remind us that joy is a communal act — that music is something we make together.

Your support ensures that this living tradition continues to inspire hearts, open minds, and bring people together.

Let’s keep creating a world where everyone has a place in the circle.
Because when we play together, we remember who we are —
one people, under one sky.

In challenging times, our connections to each other are especially meaningful. Even as so much divides us, we ache for ways to unite in true community. At Kutandara, we are more committed than ever to being a human crossroads, a place to connect with real people from across the globe…from different countries, backgrounds, and cultures.

Our mission is to help heal the world through music and friendship, and we feel strongly that we can do this…together.
