BREAKING DOWN
BOUNDARIES
Playing For Change was created to inspire and connect the world through music. The idea for this project came from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people.
Traveling around the world inspired us to unite many of the greatest musicians we met throughout our journey. These musicians come from many different countries and cultures, but through music they speak the same language
SONGS AROUND
THE WORLD
Playing For Change has produced over XX Songs Around the World where musicians of all backgrounds come together transcending language and cultural boundaries, proving how we are all connected.
AWARD WINNING
DOCUMENTARIES
Playing For Change was first born on a voyage across the United States, documenting the stories behind everyday street musicians. Resulting in the award winning documentary ‘A Cinematic Discovery of Street Music’ followed up by ‘Peace Through Music’ which features the first ever Song Around The World ‘Stand by Me’
PLAYING FOR CHANGE
BAND
Creating Songs Around The World inspired us to unite many of the greatest musicians we met throughout our journey and form the Playing For Change Band.
These musicians come from many different countries and cultures, but through music they speak the same language. The band now tours the world, spreading the message of love and hope to audiences everywhere.
A MUSICAL LIBRARY OF CULTURAL DIVERSITY UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE
Throughout the years we have expanded our productions resulting in a wide variety of music series featuring both world famous and emerging artists. We have also toured the world with the Playing for Change Band, our ambassadors who showcase the true spirit of PFC – no matter where we come from, music helps us overcome our differences.
PLAYING FOR CHANGE
FOUNDATION
Inspired by the love and hospitality in some of the most underprivileged communities, we decided to create a separate non-profit organization in 2007, building the first music school in Gugulethu, South Africa.
Today, the Playing For Change Foundation, operates 17 music programs in 13 countries. PFC Foundation was honored to be named a ‘Polar Music Prize’ winner in 2019.
