The Red and Black

"The audience comes and looks on the site at these tremendous artists participating," said Rikk Galvan, producer of the worldwide event. "We extend the reach by inviting artists, and as artists perform they get to be more publicly known."

The Music Days began when Pearl's musician friends wanted to honor him, and it grew into an international event celebrating cultural tolerance.

"In many different places, they all just started dedicating their concerts to Danny," Galvan said. "It organically grew into an annual event."

With the event always held in October, the organization hopes to continue to grow and gain more worldwide exposure.

Each concert includes readings recognizing Pearl and his beliefs of tolerance and cultural acceptance.

"It's an initiative to bring people together to celebrate peace and harmony through music," Klein said.

Galvan echoed Klein.

"Anybody, if it supports the theme of honor for humanity, can participate," he said. "We expose their music to a greater audience and show how special these artists are to people all over the world."
