Mission & Vision: An Academic Home for Music of the American Jewish Experience
The Lowell Milken Center is committed to introducing new people beyond UCLA’s campus to the musical journeys of America’s Jews and engaging them with this wonderfully rich musical heritage. The Center fosters new artistic expression, presents performances and offers educational programming in communities, such as the adult education curriculum, called Stories of Music. Much of this engagement happens through partnerships with local, national and international organizations, and features artists from UCLA, Los Angeles and beyond.
Engaging Students in Music of American Jewish Experience
As a university-based Center, we are committed to providing opportunities for students to explore and participate in Jewish music in a multiplicity of ways.
