A note regarding the COVID-19 crisis
Respectful of the challenges today, our hope of a return to when we can celebrate life more fully keeps us moving forward. We have postponed events scheduled for this spring but remain focused on other ways to bring our mission to friends until the crisis has passed. Until then, we continue to provide a dose of virtual “joie de vivre”.
En respectant les défis de nos jours, notre espoir de pouvoir célébrer la vie pleinement nous aide à avancer. Nous avons reporté nos événements prévus pour ce printemps, mais nous restons concentrés sur les autres façons d’apporter notre mission à nos amis jusqu’a ce que cette crise soit passée. D’ici là, nous continuerons à fournir une petite dose de ‘joie de vivre’ virtuelle!
Honoring the past.
Celebrating the present.
Building for the future.

A profile of French composer, conductor, and teacher Nadia Boulanger
Nadia Boulanger influenced generations of Americans with her teaching. She passed away in 1979, but she and her curriculum are highly respected in the American music world and at the European American Music Alliance in France.
Happy Independence Day!
Because of the partnership between France and the United States in the quest for liberty, Americans have the ability to celebrate freedom today.
The French-American Cultural Foundation is committed to advancing and enhancing partnerships between France and America through initiatives in the arts, business, and sciences. We celebrate our shared culture and a way of life that emphasizes independence, creativity, and excellence.
La fondation pour la culture franco-américaine se dévoue au développement et l’amélioration des partenariats entre la France et les États Unis, à travers des initiatives dans les arts, les entreprises, et les sciences. Nous célébrons les valeurs culturelles que ces deux pays partagent et un mode de vie qui souligne l’indépendance, la créativité, et l’excellence.
Cur Non? Pourquoi Pas? Why Not?
The Marquis de Lafayette, who served the Continental Army with distinction during the American Revolutionary War, was born of a family whose coat of arms bore the Latin words “Cur Non” or “Why Not?” These are words we at the French-American Cultural Foundation live by as we celebrate with “joie de vivre” our countries’ rich heritage and exciting future!
