Announcing the 1st Annual Playing For Change Day on September 17th

by Playing For Change Foundation

The 1st annual PLAYING FOR CHANGE DAY – on September 17, 2011 – is a global day of action where musicians of all varieties perform on stages, cafés, city squares, and street corners worldwide and raise money to bring music into the lives of young people.

This year's event carries the theme Power to the People, drawing its inspiration from the spirit of John Lennon's activism, thanks to the gracious support of Playing For Change's mission by Theatre Within and Yoko Ono. Proceeds raised will 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 schools to promote cross-cultural learning and conflict resolution.

Playing For Change Day is a creative day of action that uses the universal power of music to create positive social change. You understand the power of music and the ways it can change the human heart and the human experience. Whether you’re a musician or a music fan, whether you’re performing in a show or attending one on September 17th, your donation or participation will contribute to a positive vibration that connects and inspires us all. Will you bring your passion and presence to a global day of music? Please visit www.PlayingForChangeDay.org to learn more and to participate.
