Daniel Pearl World Music Days — Harmony for Humanity
The JCCGW is proud to be part of the 9th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days — a global network of concerts celebrating the ideals of tolerance, friendship and shared humanity.
After journalist and musician Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002, his family and friends came together to work towards a more humane world. A classically-trained violinist, fiddler and mandolin player, Daniel Pearl joined musical groups across the globe. World Music Days are held every October in commemoration of his birthday (October 10), and carry on his mission of connecting diverse groups through words and music.
We join thousands of musicians in hundreds of concerts and dozens of countries, ringing the world in a musical affirmation of the theme, “Harmony for Humanity.”
