Music for Peace

Music for Peace is a captivating collective dedicated to harnessing the power of music to promote peace and healing. Their work spans various genres, from the orchestral compositions of Terry Riley to the contemporary pieces of Sarah Kirkland Snider and Augusta Read Thomas. Music for Peace is not just about creating beautiful music; it's about telling impactful stories that enhance our 'peace literacy' and foster a deeper understanding of harmony and unity.

The collective has been involved in numerous initiatives, including orchestral flashmob performances protesting against conflicts and supporting victims of terrorist attacks. Their commitment to peace extends to collaborations with organisations like Ukulele For Peace, encouraging people to pick up instruments and join in the harmony.

Music for Peace's repertoire is diverse, ranging from the Balearic/Downtempo sounds of HIRO AMA's "Music For Peace & Harmony" to the inspired works of Donald Reeves, who draws on the complex music of Bach for his peace-building efforts in Bosnia. Their music is designed to calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote relaxation, making it a powerful tool for personal and societal healing. Whether through live performances, recordings, or community initiatives, Music for Peace continues to inspire and uplift, reminding us all of the transformative power of music.
