“Danny was a talented musician and principled journalist who respected all cultures," said Daniel’s father

Judea Pearl, president of The Daniel Pearl Foundation. "World Music Days is part of his legacy to raise awareness of our common humanity. All musicians, no matter their genre, are invited to dedicate performances held from October 1-15 each year. We simply ask that performers let the audience know about the principles for which Danny stood."

Daniel Pearl World Music Days started in 2002 to honors the birthday of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel

Pearl, an accomplished musician who was murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002. This is an awareness raising event, not a fundraiser, and musicians need only register their event at the World Music Days website (www.danielpearlmusicdays.org) and then issue a dedication from the stage or in the written program in order to participate. In 2006, 376 concerts in 36 countries were dedicated by musicians of every musical genre.

[Another Quote needed her - either by the musician talking about why they are participating or use instead:

Famed jazz innovator Herbie Hancock, summed up the spirit behind Daniel Pearl World Music Days events in a recent public service announcement, asking listeners to "Join me in using the universal language of music to diminish hatred, respect differences and reach out in friendship."]
