Cantos Music Foundation was created on January 1, 2003. It was formed from the integration of two local organizations that focused on understanding and presenting music to the community: TriumphEnt Foundation and Cantos Music Museum.

TriumphEnt Foundation, founded in 1990, presented programming centered specifically around the organ family of instruments. Cantos Music Museum, founded in 1997, focused on developing a world-class collection of musical instruments and related materials.

Through the integration of TriumphEnt Foundation's annual programs and the Cantos Music Museum, Cantos Music Foundation is able to bring a broader range of programs and other offerings to the community.

Thei vision is to be a national catalyst for discovery, innovation and renewal through music, with the mission of creating engaging music experiences for the community using our unique collection, our cultural spaces and our expertise.
