Schrag Endowed Lecture Series

Established by Brian Schrag and Mrs. Barbara Schrag, this fund supports a lecture series in World Arts at Dallas International University. The series encourages deeper understanding of the vital role the arts play in culture, communication, worship, and cross-cultural engagement around the world.

Dr. Schrag serves as Senior Ethnomusicology and Arts Consultant and is the founder of DIU’s Center for Excellence in World Arts. Through decades of teaching, research, and global collaboration, he has helped equip students, artists, and ministry leaders to engage communities through music and the arts in culturally meaningful ways.

This lecture series continues that vision by bringing scholars, practitioners, and artists together to explore how creativity and the arts can strengthen communities, preserve cultural identity, and communicate truth across languages and cultures.
