Description
Hey Boise ~
We are hosting a FREE public screening of the "Playing For Change ~ Peace Through Music" documentary.
All musicians, and non-musicians of every sort, every age, and every level of talent are welcome.
This beautiful documentary is about the desire for change and bringing people together !
So please, come and share your talent, your ideas, your inspiration, and your desire for Change with us in Uniting Our Community Through Music !
The Inspiration:
Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race. And with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we set out to share it with the world.
In the light of this wonderful movement we are hosting a "Playing For Change ~ Peace Through Music" party right here Boise Idaho !
Musicians from all over the world are being brought together to perform benefit concerts that build music and art schools in communities that are in need of inspiration and hope. In addition to benefit concerts, the Playing for Change band also performs shows around the world. When audiences see and hear musicians who have traveled thousands of miles from their homes, united in purpose and chorus on one stage, everyone is touched by music's unifying power.
Fans are spreading the message of Playing for Change through our media, and this is only the beginning. Together, we will connect the world through music !
After the screening Steve Fulton will be sharing music with us and afterward, we will be having an Open floor Jam session for you ALL to participate in.
There are two songs that we will absolutely be playing.
One love: by Bob Marley
Stand by me: by Ben E. King
I will have the words to both songs printed up along with sheet music if you need it. If you would like it before hand, just let me know and I will send it to you.
After that it's all up to you ! We can play whatever you desire
to share with us.
Don't worry if you don't know how to play an instrument, there will be plenty of opportunities of fun for everyone !
There will be some snacks, but this will also be a potluck style gathering. So please feel free to bring something to eat and share with others.
We will have water available. If you can bring a cup, no glass, that would be great !
Also, PLEASE bring something soft to sit on for the movie.
In order to make room for everyone, we will not have chairs in the room.
