Tonight we join thousands of music lovers around the world, ringing the world with an affirmation of the oneness of humankind. This performance by the Temple Israel of Natick Singers is part of the 9th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days- a global network of concerts that uses the universal language of music to diminish hatred, respect differences, and reach out in global friendship. Daniel Pearl, the journalist and musician kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan was a classically-trained violinist, as well as a fiddler and mandolin player who joined musical groups wherever he traveled. World Music Days commemorates his October 10th birthday and carries on his mission of connecting diverse people through words and music. We thank you for joining us tonight in helping to spread "Harmony for Humanity".
