EBMA – European Bluegrass Music Association

 
 
Purpose of the EBMA
The EBMA exists for the benefit of Bluegrass artists, organisers, industry
professionals and enthusiasts in Europe, to help them connect, grow and
achieve fulfilment through community.
 
 
Mission of the EBMA
Build and maintain a strong community that connects members and
inspires them to work together for collective and individual enjoyment.
 
Provide opportunities and resources that support members in their pursuit
of Bluegrass.
 
Forge partnerships with national and international organisations to expand
the horizons of Bluegrass within Europe.
 
 
Structure of the EBMA
EBMA is a not-for-profit organisation structured around constituencies,
each with board representation.
 
The EBMA membership includes artists, organisers and fans from the full
spectrum of Bluegrass and adjacent musical genres from around the world.
 
The Board coordinates activities in the constituencies, manages shared
services for members, and oversees all tasks relative to the legal and
financial administration of the association.
 
 
Operating Principles of EBMA
The constituencies represent the Bluegrass community and are the focus
of activities carried out in the name of EBMA.
 
Active participation from members is encouraged to promote, develop and
implement initiatives aligned with the organisation’s goals.
 
Drawing from the many roots of Bluegrass music, the EBMA encourages
innovation in all aspects of Bluegrass performance and enjoyment.
