International Day of Peace

"Silently Hoping" Music Video
Part of PeaceBeats Worldwide Webcast
Celebrating United Nations
International Day of Peace

On September 21 the world celebrates the International Day of Peace. At the stroke of midnight on September 20, in Auckland, New Zealand - the first moment of the United Nations International Day of Peace - people around the world will begin to enjoy a 48 hour worldwide webcast of music, video, film, poetry, dance, visual arts and individual expressions, all celebrating people's appreciation and desire for peace.

The PeaceBeats Worldwide Webcast 2013 includes entries submitted from all over the world. The webcast continues to the last stroke of Peace Day at midnight on September 22 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The schedule begins and ends at the International Dateline making the webcast available wherever in the world it is Peace Day.
Music For Mankind is proud to annound the inclusion of Kelly Moore's music video "Silently Hoping" as part of this prestigious event. "Silently Hoping" is the title track of Mr. Moore's third CD. The song was inspired by his trip as US Delegate with World Food Program USA to Nicaragua in 2008.

Co-produced by PeaceBeats of the UK and Florida Peace Initiative, the webcast, hosted by international film and television personality Michael Nouri, will feature a very special interview with Peace Ambassador Prem Rawat by Peace One Day founder Jeremy Gilley.

"We are THRILLED to have Kelly Moore and Music For Mankind's music video "Silently Hoping" as part of our line-up for our PeaceBeats Worldwide Webcast!", said Rick Spears of Florida Peace Initiative. "These are beautiful and inspiring submissions we are so happy to receive and share with the world."

"I simply cannot overstate how honored I am to be a part of this incredible event", Mr. Moore said. "I am always grateful and at the same time amazed at the opportunities that come my way to help, and this webcast is part of an effort that helps in the most profound way". 

"While this is not a Music For Mankind event," he added, "I am very excited to take part in such an important and far-reaching effort."

Music For Mankind® Creates Joint Fund-Raisers

Our first-ever joint fund-raiser!

"The San Diego Women’s Club and Music For Mankind® proudly present Kelly Moore in “Give My Regards To Broadway”, a one-hour musical production, Saturday March 9, 2013 at 2:30 PM."

That sentence is the culmination of over a year's work from the time I originally had the idea of doing this. In the process I moved to California to help make it happen. The performance will be at the San Diego Women's Club in downtown San Diego. I'm really looking forward to it.

So much has happened since then, and so much more can possibly happen. 

Last week I sent a press release about Music For Mankind® out through Business Wire and it was picked up by newspapers all over the country and all over the world. As of this writing it has been viewed 777 times!

You can read the article on Yahoo! Finance, and on Google you can see some of the other publications that picked it up.

It's a new start, a new beginning. Stay tuned for more...
