The Musical Overtures program promotes mutual understanding and strengthens American ties with nations involved in or recovering from conflict. Musical Overtures musicians are flexible and understand the limitations involved with travel, venues and security issues in these regions. They have considerable experience in education and professional performance, as well as experience working with U.S. Missions abroad through other programs.

Eligibility Requirements:
Musical Overture musicians are selected by the State Department from past participants in the Rhythm Road program.
