Daniel Pearl World Music Days With BKB & Guests!

Brian Kramer Band will be hosting this event at Stampen's Blue Monday and inviting special guests to join it and focus the power of music and culture to raise awareness!

10th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days - October 1st - 31st, 2011

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 6,700 performances in 111 countries. World Music Days is an awareness-raising program, not a fundraiser.

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.
