11th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days – October 1st – 31st, 2012
http://www.danielpearlmusicdays.org/
Daniel Pearl World Music Days is an international
network of concerts that use the power of music to reaffirm our
commitment to tolerance and humanity. Since 2002, Daniel Pearl World
Music Days has grown to include the participation of more than 8,900
performances in 119 countries. World Music Days is an awareness-raising
program, not a fundraiser. There is no financial obligation to participate and all musicians are welcome.
When you participate (by making a simple dedication
at your event) you will inspire your audiences with a sense of unity and
purpose, and reaffirm your commitment to international friendship by
taking a stand against the divisive forces that took Danny’s life.

“Tonight’s concert is dedicated to Danny Pearl…his life was brutally taken away by those who only bow to the gods of hate, fanaticism and bigotry. Danny you will be missed by all of us who still believe that goodness and courage can overcome all injustices.” – Junoon |
Background
Daniel Pearl World Music Days was created in response to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl
at the hands of extremists in Karachi, Pakistan. Danny’s family and
friends came together to work towards a more humane world, forming the Daniel Pearl Foundation.
The mission of the Foundation is to promote cross-cultural
understanding through journalism, music, and innovative communications.
Danny
was a talented musician who joined musical groups in every community in
which he lived, leaving behind a long trail of musician-friends
spanning the entire world. Commemorating Danny’s October 10th birthday,
World Music Days uses the universal language of music to encourage
fellowship across cultures and build a platform for “Harmony for
Humanity.” The Daniel Pearl Foundation invites you to join us by
dedicating your music performance this October as part of the 10th
Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days.
