Through its year-round activities, CTMS furthers its primary objectives of public education, musicianship, advocacy, professional development, and being a clearinghouse of information.
CTMS is dedicated to the preservation and dissemination of the traditional folk music, dance, and related folk arts of America's diverse cultural heritage. Their goals are to broaden public involvement with folk music, celebrate ethnic traditions, and promote cross-cultural understanding. The organizations programming is unique among folk music organizations in that it emphasizes teaching as well as performance.
The California Traditional Music Society began in 1978 as a small amateur Folk Music club. Based on public interest and a growing recognition that America's folk musical heritage was in danger of extinction, the Society has expanded to include the array of folk music forms of more recent American immigrants and to introduce to American practitioners parallel folk traditions still practiced in other parts of the world.
