What is Los Angeles Music Week? Los Angeles Music Week
(LAMW) is a seven day celebration of Los Angeles' multifaceted
musical
heritage, serving the entire city and county of Los Angeles.
Throughout
the week of December 7 to 14, 2003 now in its tenth year of operation.
LAMW annually showcases L.A.'s musical past and the many artists whose
legendary contributions have impacted this city, while building
links
to all citizens. This is accomplished through performances,
interviews, student projects, performer showcases and special
events,
representing music of all genres, held at multiple locations.
LAMW's
goals are to encourage legendary artists to teach and mentor students,
raise public awareness of the diverse musical genres performed in this
great city, honor cultural diversity and encourage those who
artistically
educate our youth. Every year, LAMW coincides with
the
issue of the U.S. Postal Service's Commemorative Music Heritage Stamps,
whereby framed enlargements are presented to honorees. Rare
cancellations with postmarks, true collector's items since 1996,
may only be purchased through Los Angeles Music Week.
