Since 25 years alba KULTUR has been working as an independent office, specialising in global music cultures ranging from classical non-Western music and orally transmitted traditional music and folk to comtemporary hybrid and creolised fusion and crossover projects that all express and actualise the concept of cultural diversity in a globalised world.

Our work is based on the philosophy that music is a fundamental human expression that creates and supports social and cultural identity. Dealing with both, one's own music and with foreign music cultures helps to establish openness, tolerance, respect, self-awareness, sensitivity and the ability to give and receive criticism - all valuable criteria for a peaceful living together and the development of a vibrant civil society. We primarily work in the following areas:

• artist management
• curatorial work
• concept development and consulting
• cultural education
• music and sustainable development
• cultural political commitment
