Since 2011, Diane Moser’s Composers Big Band has presented a peace
concert in the month of October as part of the Daniel Pearl World Music
Days. Daniel Pearl, from Princeton, NJ and later Los Angeles, CA, was the
Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and murdered by
terrorists in Pakistan February 22, 2002. Following his murder, Danny’s
family and friends established the Daniel Pearl Foundation to carry on
his legacy, using music and words to address the root causes of the
hatred that took his life, with an entire month of worldwide “Harmony
for Humanity” concerts. A classically trained violinist and an avid mandolin and guitar player
(whether it be classical, rock, bluegrass or jazz), Danny used his
passion for music to form friendships across cultural divides; he
connected musical groups the world over, through every community that he
lived in.
We dedicate this concert to all peoples, reminding us of the
principles by which Danny lived, the universal power of music and our
shared humanity.
