Columbia Music Festival is the brainchild of several music-loving communities and [[Columbia College Campus Life]], inaugurated in [[2013]]. After many years of separate (and awesome) day-long festivals (such as [[Bacchanal]]’s spring concert, [[Postcrypt]]’s Folk Fest, [[Live at Lerner]]’s Symposium, [[WBAR]]’s [[WBARBQ]]), it was decided to bring it all together for one awesome, week-long event exclusively for Columbia University students and affiliates.

The Columbia Music Festival is an annual series of showcases by Columbia's best music curation organizations and CCSC. The festival typically occurs towards the beginning of April.

One of the three Columbia Music Festival 2013: Synaesthesia posters designed by Yanyi Luo, CC'13.

Concept

Music events are unique in that they bring people together for no reason. You go because you like the musician, or your friend is in some band, or because your friend has invited you and the music will accompany a good time. Unlike many of its peer institutions, Columbia is located in one of the best cities where a true festival experience is possible, as demonstrated by the fact that each of the collaborating organizations were already engaging with local and renowned acts in independent annual events or in-house music sessions. Prior to the music festival, all these events happened separately during the month of April. And food trucks came sporadically to campus.

To continue the spirit of most Columbia events, the week of events is a series of independent showcases chaired by the festival committee comprised of one member from each showcase group. Each organization involved is responsible for an event on each of their days, and because this is Columbia, all these events are typically awesome.
