The Museond Fund, named for the Greek goddesses of creativity (Muses and beyond), is a private endowment fund established by John Fairbrother. John is a queer (he/him), australio-canadian, retired professor/researcher in veterinary microbiology. He is a passionate lover of all genres of music, as well as contemporary dance and theatre and fusions of any of the above. He especially loves to attend live performances of contemporary works in innovative spaces.

MISSION

To encourage and recognize emerging composers and creators in music performance, especially in sectors of the community that have up till now, been underrepresented or disfavored.

To tap into the synergy resulting from bringing together different musical genres, traditions, and acoustic and electronic instruments; often combined with other performing art forms such as contemporary dance, theatre and cinema.

To recognize the importance of using appropriate performance spaces to optimize the listening experience and the connection between creators, artists and listeners.

A hope is that this initiative will contribute to rendering innovative music more accessible in a way which is viable for all concerned. This will help in its role as a balm for the soul and a means of more effective communication in this time of mobile phone domination, reduced attention spans, information overload, and misuse of social media.
