Rhythmix Cultural Works, was established in 1999 as the umbrella for RhythMix world music ensemble and RCW cultural exchange programs. The RhythMix ensemble successfully reached thousands of children in over 100 schools through the San Francisco Symphony Adventures in Music, Young Audiences and Bread & Roses programs. RCW has coordinated six successful cultural study and exchange trips to Cuba and Japan since 1999. Inspired by these experiences, Janet Koike, Executive Director of RCW, purchased and renovated a warehouse in Alameda to provide a home for RCW as a place where professional artists, emerging artists, students and community could converge.
