Mission Statement

Activities
Cross-Cultural Music Performance, Refugee Support, Indigenous Music Education
Objectives
'We believe: 1) People who have learned and sung each others’ popular love songs together are less likely to war with one another than those who have not. 2) Music fosters sincere, heart-to-heart communication which goes beyond treaties or political agreements. 3) Musicians make ideal international diplomats and ambassadors because they know how to work together in unifying and intuitive ways. 4) International cross-cultural sharing of popular songs easily dissolves fear-based perceptions. 5) Musical sharing promotes a healthy spiritual life, replaces materialistic orientations and is available to all, including children. 6) Musical proficiency opens the door to creating deep and trustworthy friendships across language and cultural boundaries and can heal the wounds of war.
