Sample Dedication #3 - Schools
Daniel Pearl was a newspaper reporter and a violin player who traveled the world and used music to make friends in many countries. In 2002 he was murdered by terrorists while investigating a story in Pakistan. His family decided to carry on Danny’s work and use music to help people learn to respect each other and honor diversity.
October 10 was Danny’s birthday and this performance is part of Daniel Pearl World Music Days. This month, in all over the world, musicians of all kinds are dedicating concerts to our shared belief that even though we may have different races, religions or ethnic backgrounds, we can all work together to achieve a better, hate free world for everyone. |
