The Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame is a
nonprofit corporation dedicated to celebrating, honoring, and preserving the
legacy of Rhode Island musicians, educators and industry
professional who have made significant contributions to the
national and Rhode Island music scene. The Hall will carry
out its mission through the annual election of inductees,
creation of a museum of artist and music-related exhibits honoring
inductees and commemorating the state's musical legacy, and an
online music archive of information about and audio recordings
by those involved in Rhode Island's past and present music
scene.
In addition, the Hall is committed to
continuing that legacy by developing programs and services aimed
at promoting and strengthening Rhode island's current and future
music scene and ensuring that music continues to play an
important role in the lives of all Rhode Islanders.
As we enhance our website, be sure
to read more about the Rhode
Island Hall of Fame, our
bylaws and organizational information, and ways you can
volunteer. While
we are building a more robust music archive in terms of
content and functionality, there is plenty there now of
interest, including information about the earlier efforts that
have merged into this initiative, so be sure to
visit the
Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame Archive and a
list of inductees from
that earlier effort who will be officially inducted into the
current Hall with our first class in 2012.
Finally, be sure to attend our inaugural
induction ceremony and concert on February 26 at the Met.
