​​​MUSIC UNITES J
AMAICA FOUNDATION

​We seek to expand the awareness of Jamaica's long-standing musical heritage through music workshops and free concerts island-wide. We aid in the sourcing of scholarships and instruments for talented students with financial constraints.
​
​
We are committed to the research, preservation and promotion of the works of Jamaican composers of Classical, Patriotic, and Church music,
as well as music written for Theatre, Dance, Film and Media. Inter-cultural exchange activities and the administration of the Samuel Felsted Chamber Orchestra are also part of our mission.

​Jamaican Composers
Samuel Felsted

Peter Ashbourne
Was it because of the amazing outburst of Popular Music creativity in Jamaica (which has now lasted for over half a century), that the documentation of all other Jamaican composers has been overlooked?
