KAMSA is a not-for-profit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1989, its mission is to nurture and support the careers of promising young musicians. Our work is made possible through the generous contributions of members and the broader community. A dedicated volunteer Board of Directors thoughtfully guides and oversees the organization.

We are committed to enriching the lives of residents in our community through meaningful cultural exchanges between Korea and the United States. Promoting Korean culture and preserving Korean heritage through the education of Korean-American youth has always been our central mission, with music serving as a lasting and unifying medium.
