Anthony Braxton
The Tri-Centric Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation started by MacArthur Award-winning composer/educator Anthony Braxton and a board of the Northeast's working musicians, academics, and administrators. Its mission is based on the premise that musical principles inform and are informed by sociocultural and philosophical dynamics; and that music education and practice can be a vital force in learning to adapt to and positively influence today's rapidly changing world. The mission is therefore to establish a regular, ongoing ensemble, based in New York, to stage performances of Mr . Braxton's musical, multimedia and interdisciplinary works;

and to seek out and support the spirit of originality and creativity these works celebrate where it exists in others. This mission is pursued through internships and workshops in community alliances with educational and other youth service institutions; and through publishing and recording the writings and music of scholars and musicians who are emerging as promising torchbearers of that spirit.
