Our Crowdfunding Groups
Living Music Resource takes an innovative approach to prepare students for a career in the creative economy: Education + Entertainment = Edutainment. We’re on a mission to share information and engage globally, connecting people just getting started in the entertainment industry with acclaimed professionals. Your gifts today will help us grow and enhance the arts at Ole Miss!
Living Music Resource (LMR) is housed at the University of Mississippi and provides current students with unique educational experiences that enhance their degree requirements, while also attracting top students to the university. LMR initiatives have involved public schools and nonprofit organizations, departments across the Ole Miss campus and industry-leading professionals. Through our live-streamed events, LMR has raised the visibility of the Lafayette-Oxford-University community through its international viewing audience.
LMR is dedicated to bringing acclaimed professionals to Mississippi, including GRAMMY award winners, Pulitzer Prize recipients, and performers from Broadway to the Metropolitan Opera, in addition to showcasing Mississippi’s own artists. The Music Research Revolution continues!
LMR initiatives include the production of the Medal for the Arts (the highest award given by the University of Mississippi in recognition of excellence in the arts) and LMR Live!, a popular interactive web talk show series. They also include master classes, full productions and concerts, commissioning of new music works, intensive workshops and mentored research opportunities for music majors.
By joining the Secret Salon Society today, you will become our partner and be instrumental in providing the crucial support needed to allow all of us to continue enjoying the vibrant world of ”edutainment,” made possible by the spectrum of programs created by Living Music Resource. Our supporters have funded UM students as they travel across the country to experience the entertainment industry in Nashville, Tennessee, New York, Las Vegas, Charleston, South Carolina; and Los Angeles. Your gifts make a tremendous impact on our students’ experiences!
