We were honored to have A Call 2 Peace stage two benefit concerts on our behalf over the weekend in Los Angeles. Special thanks also to our action partner, California Interfaith Power and Light, as well as the venues, St. Andrews Church and MCC in the Valley, for making these benefit events possible.
A Call 2 Peace was founded by a small group of outstanding musicians who are committed to applying their world class talents to furthering the cause of peace and justice in the world. The core group includes: Performer, composer, and producer Eduardo Del Signore, whose collaborations have included work with Dionne Warwick, Al Jarreau, Milton Nascimento, Jorge Trasante (Gypsy Kings), and many others; violinist Scarlet Rivera, who has worked closely with Bob Dylan (and appears in the Martin Scorsese film, Rolling Thunder Revue), and many others, including Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, and Keb ‘Mo; and soprano Sonia Kazarova, who is currently studying under the baton of Maestro Douglas Sumi of Los Angeles Opera, having recently returned from singing in Zaragoza, Spain with Maestra Diva Montserrat Caballe as a participant performer in her world renowned masterclass.
For the benefit shows, which took place on Friday and Saturday this past week in Los Angeles, A Call 2 Peace invited several guest artists and friends to join them on stage, including percussionist Ron Wagner, guitarist Federico (Freddy) Ramos, DJ Werd, violinist Chishuan, and guitarist Dan Ferguson. Thanks also to South African fine artist Jabu for gracing each venue with his inspiring art!
We are grateful to our friends at A Call 2 Peace and Interfaith Power and Light for their partnership and support!
