Taylor Music Group

The Taylor Music Group (TMG) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has established itself as a prominent supporter of world-class performances and educational activities within the realms of classical and Celtic folk music. TMG serves as the parent organization for two notable ensembles: the Taylor Festival Choir (TFC) and Na Fidléirí Reimagined. Additionally, it plays a significant role in the Celtic Arts Series at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. The Taylor Festival Choir is renowned as an elite chamber choir that specializes in the performance and recording of exceptional choral literature spanning all historical periods. The choir places special emphasis on music from the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as the folk music of the Celtic tradition. The choir's repertoire and performances are designed to resonate with audiences by presenting works of profound beauty and complexity. Na Fidléirí Reimagined, originally a student-based ensemble known as Na Fidléirí (Irish Gaelic for "the fiddlers"), has evolved into a dynamic group of musicians who blend the traditional music of the Celtic heritage with classical elements. This ensemble is recognized for its innovative fusion of these two musical traditions, both in concert settings and on recordings. The vision of the Taylor Music Group is rooted in the belief that exceptional music, performed to the highest standards, has the power to transcend the ordinary and touch upon the sacred, thereby nourishing and enlivening the human spirit. TMG upholds the idea that the synergy between high art (classical/art music) and the art of the people (folk music) is essential for the sustainability and relevance of all artistic forms. As a result, TMG treats these genres as equal partners in its programming, which encompasses both performance and educational initiatives at local, national, and international levels. TMG is committed to the notion that the performing arts are inherently connected to arts education and instruction, and it endeavors to be a model organization that exemplifies values of equality, diversity, mindfulness, and love in all aspects of its musical endeavors. The organization envisions a world where society is more just, equitable, and tolerant, acknowledging and respecting differences among people, and where humanity coexists sustainably and mindfully with the Earth and all its inhabitants. The Taylor Music Group is led by a team of dedicated individuals who are passionate about bringing the organization's mission to life. The leadership and inspiration behind TMG's success are integral to its ongoing pursuit of excellence in the world of music.
