SUMMARY:Sharon Katz & The Peace Train
DESCRIPTION:$15-75\, sliding scale – CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS \nLearn more about the concert here: https://www.facebook.com/sharon.katz.2000 and here: https://sharonkatz.com/event/sharon-katz-the-peace-train-philadelphia-celebration/ \nSharon Katz & The Peace Train band features Sharon on guitar and vocals\, Wendy Quick (vocals); Richard Hill Jr. (bass)\, Suzzette Ortiz (keyboards); Eric Roberts (Drums); Jan Jeffries (Percussion) and David Church (sax & flute). \nWorld renowned for leading South Africa’s first 500-voice multiracial and multicultural performing group to help promote Nelson Mandela’s election in Post-Apartheid South Africa\, Sharon Katz is a guitarist\, singer and composer from Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth/ Nelson Mandela Bay) in South Africa. A multiple award-winning film\, When Voices Meet was made about Katz’s social activism. \nIn recent years\, Sharon has facilitated musical projects with children living on the USA Mexico border\, who survived torture and trafficking rings in San Diego and Tijuana. Sharon has conceived and directed productions with orchestras\, and choirs in South Africa\, the United States\, Cuba and Mexico and has many albums to her credit including the most recent “We Can Be The Change” and “For You.” \nThis year she has published a multi-media songbook\, “Songs and Stories of Sharon Katz & The Peace Train” featuring ten songs along with choral parts\, guitar chords\, and archival photographs of The Peace Train project. The book also features QR codes and links to videos and recordings of the songs  Songs from the new Songbook will be performed at the concert as well as songs from other albums that have been on the Grammy ballot. \nAbout Sharon’s Humanitarian Work: Since 1992 when she created the first\, 500-voice mixed race choir in South Africa to break through apartheid’s barriers\, our goal has been to spread Nelson Mandela’s dream of justice\, equality and a better life for all.  In many parts of the world today\, her work is needed more than ever. That’s why she organizes The Peace Train’s concerts and our Transcending Barriers projects worldwide. \nHer non-profit organization\, Friends of The Peace Train\, addresses the challenges of children and adults living in poverty; racial strife and intolerance of differences; under- and unemployment; educational and social inequities; and the lack of creative opportunities. She uses our music\, music therapy\, creative arts projects\, leadership development workshops\, cultural exchange programs and fundraising resources to empower individuals and support community initiatives around the world. \nRead more about her ongoing work in South Africa below or click here to learn more about our Transcending Barriers projects on the USA-Mexico border and in Latin America
