Playing For Change Day Sept 17th

< Back

Wednesday September 14, 2011

As someone who makes or listens to music, you know the incredible power it has to connect and inspire.

You’re invited to join our 1st annual Playing For Change Day on September 17, 2011 – a global day of action where musicians will perform on stages, cafés, city squares, and street corners worldwide to raise money to support music in the lives of young people.

You can create an event on that day – OR you can find our about PFC Day events in your community – by signing up at PlayingForChangeDay.org. Whether you’re performing yourself, or heading out to see another artist perform, everyone’s participation is needed to make September 17th a day to remember.

This year’s event carries the theme Power To The People, drawing its inspiration from John Lennon’s activism, thanks to the gracious support of Theatre Within and Yoko Ono who believe in our mission and recognize it as one manifestation of John’s vision for the role of music in creating a better world.

Proceeds raised will go to support the work of the Playing For Change Foundation and Theatre Within to help build music schools, strengthen music and arts education, support teachers and performances, purchase instruments, and connect young people to promote cross cultural learning and conflict resolution.

You understand the power of music and the ways it can change the human heart and the human experience. Will you bring your passion and presence to a global day of music? Please visit PlayingForChangeDay.org to learn more and to participate.
