Global Peace Concert Inc. is a non-profit Florida corporation with offices in Indiana, Maryland and Pennsylvania. We are comprised of every day folks who combined talents and passions to make a difference, not just globally but locally. All officers and directors are volunteers and do not receive any monetary compensation for their work.
Global Peace Concert Inc. believes music is the universal language and through music peace and harmony can bring unity and change. We believe that peace begins within and each person can do their part to make a world of difference and live the dream. What began as a concert to promote peace has evolved into more than a concert, it's a mission to evoke change and encourage hope that together we can inspire peace, love and unity.
The Mission of the Global Peace Concert is to produce, promote and support worldwide events, concerts and festivals that champion and nourish basic human rights, nonviolence, world peace, animal welfare and environmental awareness. We hold as our creed: the fostering of mutual respect and compassion for all races, religions, cultures and peoples in our global community.
The Global Peace Concert is a benefit concert which will include a week of fun filled peace related family friendly events. All events will be held in Philadelphia, PA. in June of 2009.
The week will kick off with a 2 day Global Peace Conference that will feature world renown peace Leaders.
On Wednesday we are destined to make the Guinness Book of World Records with the largest drum circle ever assembled. This will be followed by our Sponsor Gala Dinner on Thursday.
The actual Global Peace benefit concert will be a 3 day Friday, Saturday and Sunday event. The three days will be a tapestry of non stop music on three (3) stages for the entire family. Imagine tens of thousands of concert goers uniting for peace in the "City of Brotherly Love."
The concert will start on Friday at 12 noon with a special rendition of the National Anthem by a surprise artist. Remember Jimmy Hendrix rendition of the U.S. National Anthem at Woodstock? We promise you will be in awe after the opening act. This will be followed by a 9 hour concert.
On Saturday the concert will be an 11 hour concert covering numerous genres.
Sunday we will have 11 hours of continuous music followed by the most spectacular grand finale that you have ever seen and will be talked about for years. With the expectation of attracting over 120,000 peacemakers, this momentous concert will be simulcast around the world being viewed by millions via live or delayed telecast.
Within the concert grounds for the 3 day concert, we will have an Arts and Crafts Peace Village which will exhibit and sell works from world renowned artists, as well as local artists which are US based. In addition, there will be a wide variety of enticing flavors with exotic ingredients of global foods and beverages. Rock climbing walls, as well as various other fun family activities will also be featured all throughout the concert grounds.
During the entire week we will have a separately located, self contained Children's Peace Village. The Children Peace Village will be open to the public (no entrance fee) and will feature children's related peace activities, entertainment, rides, booths, food and beverages.
One of the goals of the Global Peace Concert is to be as environmentally friendly as possible and will be using recyclable materials whenever possible.
The Global Peace Concert will be building in Philadelphia a home/wing to an existing woman and children's abuse 501c 3 (Charity) Organization. We will also be supporting national and global organizations that nourish basic human rights, nonviolence, world peace, Animal welfare and environmental awareness.
The Global Peace Concert will is also making available approximately 1000 tickets at no charge to the underprivileged, handicapped and abused population.
With the unselfish support of hundreds of volunteers, musicians, artists and celebrities, we are creating an example and a commitment toward world peace and the raising of global consciousness for human rights for all the people of the world.
