David Pearl Music Days
13th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days - October 1st - 31st, 2014
Daniel Pearl World Music Days is an international network of concerts that use the power of music to reaffirm our commitment to tolerance and humanity. Since 2002, Daniel Pearl World Music Days has grown to include the participation of more than 11,000 performances in 129 countries. World Music Days is an awareness-raising program, not a fundraiser. There is no financial obligation to participate and all musicians are welcome.
When you participate (by making a simple dedication at your event) you will inspire your audiences with a sense of unity and purpose, and reaffirm your commitment to international friendship by taking a stand against the divisive forces that took Danny’s life.

My Experience of the Concert at SDSU
October 24, 2014
7:30 pm
I am very grateful that I was able to attend this concert at SDSU Smith Recital Hall.
I had my eyes opened to aspects of Jewish life in San Diego that inspired me:
I had no idea that Tiferet Israel Synagogue, not really that far away from my home had an orchestra.
I was inspired to explore further the Jewish Studies Department at San Diego State.
I saw again Pam Fox, who I met at the Essene Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit a number of years ago. She read a poem onstage. She is a teacher at SDSU in
Bible studies and mythology.
I met Sura-Appel-Lennon, the committee chair of this event. I was inspired to help her in her vision to create a bigger event in San Diego. She expressed a vision to have this program at Symphony Hall.
I felt happy for Yale Strom, Jewish Studies Program Artist in Residence at SDSU. It felt like he really had carved out a great niche for himself at the nearby university. I was introduced to his work about a decade or more ago, but had not seen him since.
I met a wonderful artist, Hamed Nikpay. He gave me a copy of his CD. He was a guest performer in Common Chords, the group that Yale Strom has.
What Time Will It Be?
This is a lovely video. This was one of the songs in the concert. The woman in the video, Elizabeth Schwartz, performed this in the David Pearl Concert.
