Global Music Month 2020 is an online festival of international music featuring concerts, panels, presentations, and more. GMM 2020 combines 19 different festivals and presenters’ events under one banner for a month-long celebration of international music. Each presenter and festival will serve their loyal and local music-loving patrons of each festival and presenter, but now also reach a wider audience of shared global music fans all over the world. Some participating organizations will stream live events and others will unearth archival festival performances. Each event will be unique -- with no-repeat performers.
The festival goes from August 29 to October 1.
