The Long Island Music Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) membership organization dedicated to the idea that Long Island's musical heritage is an important resource to be celebrated and preserved for future generations. The organization, which defines Long Island geographically rather than politically, as Kings, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties, was created as a place to inspire in each person the desire to explore and celebrate music in all its forms and to be a place where the music community will find the support, resources and leadership necessary to aid them in that exploration. The Long Island Music Hall of Fame sponsors the Long Island Sound Award, traveling educational exhibits and is working to create a permanent home for the story of the Island's musical heritage.
They presented the First Annual Long Island Music Hall of Fame Induction Gala on October 15, 2006 at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts. The Second Annual Induction Gala is scheduled for October 2007. For more information about the Gala and Long Island Music Hall of Fame, please visit their website at http://limusichalloffame.org/.
