That traditional music is as broad, as diverse, as variegated as the society from which it comes.

In showcasing the many traditions and musical styles that are a part of North Carolina's culture.

In supporting the work of North Carolina's traditional artists.

In presenting all artists - both professional and avocational - with the highest production values.

In excellence.

In affordable pricing.

In taking our programs to the people.

In personal customer service - in going the extra mile.

In being frugal - it allows us to use all our resources wisely and to present artists whose fees might be beyond our reach otherwise.

That different is good.

In partnership.

In bringing passion to our work.

In fun.

That activism is the hallmark of leadership.

That many points of view, coupled with lively debate, lead to finding our collective wisdom.

That what we do matters.
