The 12th annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days – a global network of concerts dedicated to “Harmony for Humanity” – will be held this year from October 1-31, 2013, to coincide with what would have been Danny Pearl’s, z’l, 50th birthday, October 10.  

Danny, raised in Encino, was a talented musician who joined musical groups in every community in which he lived around the globe, leaving behind a long trail of musician-friends spanning the entire world.   

DANIEL PEARL WORLD MUSIC DAYS was created in 2002 in response to the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, at the hands of extremists in Karachi, Pakistan.  

“Since World Music Days’ inception, more than11,000 concerts (in 129 countries, spanning five continents with artists of every musical genre) have been dedicated to Danny’s belief that through the universal language of music we can bridge differences and unite people around their shared humanity.”  

“World Music Days’ message has clearly struck a chord. Over and over we hear from artists — many of whom participate year after year — how the simple act of a few words of dedication empowers and inspires both the artist and audience with a sense of purpose and unity around our shared humanity,” Judea Pearl added.  

“Music truly brings us closer to our own hearts, to the Source of All BlesSings, and to each other,” shared Joy Krauthammer, long time Daniel Pearl World Music Days participant.   

Musicians worldwide participate in this global network of events, and inspired by Danny, use the power and universal language of music to help encourage and spread across cultures, a message of hope, tolerance, unity and “Harmony for Humanity.”     www.danielpearlmusicdays.org
