Voices in Harmony: October Action

The Daniel Pearl Foundation's 6th annual "World Music Days" runs October 1st through October 15th.

Commemorating Danny's October 10th birthday, World Music Days uses music to encourage international fellowship and promote "Harmony for Humanity." This worldwide event has brought together hundreds of thousands of people joined in the belief that the things that unite us are bigger than those that divide us. Registered performances this year include Elton John, Itzak Perlman, Ravi Shankar, and Herbie Hancock.
