AIT to hold Daniel Pearl Day of Music in Taipei

“The Daniel Pearl Day of Music is part of annual global effort to affirm the ideals of tolerance, friendship and our shared humanity,” the AIT said.

With a full lineup of popular bands, the event will go from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday at the venue located at No. 7 Beiping East Road near the Taipei Main Station, the AIT said, adding that the day long concert will unite musicians and audience in the hopes of promoting “Harmony for Humanity.”

The Daniel Pearl Day of Music was established in 2002 to commemorate the life and work of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was murdered by extremists in Pakistan in 2002 in the line of duty.

Following his death, friends and musicians have hosted annual international concerts intended to promote cross cultural understanding, overcome cultural and religious hatred, and encourage responsible and creative journalism as well as enrich people’s lives through music.
