We at Listen for Life, a global non-profit
music organization, are launching an exciting project addressed at the
current situation in Kenya. We are calling all musicians and producers
worldwide to join Listen for Life’s mission to use music as a channel for
communication, and in this case, to make an immediate impact not only in
the preservation of music and culture but of actual human life. Please click here for more information.
OneWorldWalk "Global Community" Center
Welcome to the new OneWorldWalk center! Your new cross-cultural community center in Downtown Berkeley!
Internationally renowned musician Donna Stoering founded the global non-profit Listen for Life in London ten years ago this month. LFL now has affiliate production studios, outreach projects, and/or volunteers in over 45 countries, and its projects or broadcast productions have together thus far impacted the lives of over 9 million people worldwide.
With Executive Director Andy Anderson coming on board in 2003, LFL moved the global headquarters to Berkeley California a few years ago and are celebrating LFL's ten-year anniversary with the launch of a new project: the creation of cross-cultural "global-community" centers (called OneWorldWalk) that promote the use of music as a unifying force amongst all peoples/cultures within each community, particularly those who are recent immigrants searching for a way to maintain/share their unique music traditions.
The "OneWorldWalk center in Berkeley's Arts District will be the model for many such centers being opened throughout the world with the help of micro-finance organizations and individual/corporate donations in each locale. The OWW Berkeley center now offers a gathering space for all peoples to exchange and share cultures, music performances, affordable music lessons on traditional instruments, cross-cultural jam sessions, weekend workshops (i.e. medieval singing, early-music instruments, choral group rehearsal, drum sessions), art studios and exhibition space, and production/post-production activities creating music-related programming for radio, television, and all new digital media formats.
We welcome your visit, your teaching/performance, or your participation as a donor or volunteer!
