Inspired by these words of Aldous Huxley, The September Concert was born in 2002 on the first anniversary of 9/11. Since then, on each anniversary our message of peace through music has spread further and further.

In 2007 we organized over 200 concerts with more than 3,000 performers. In addition to 119 concerts in New York, 42 US cities hosted concerts as well as 39 international cities, such as Rome, Paris, Beijing, Tokyo, Johannesburg and Casablanca.

All concerts adhere to three basic principles:

• * Freedom: All venues and musicians are free to design
             and organize their own concerts.
• * Equality: All music and all musicians are treated equally,
             regardless of genre or background.
• * Accessibility: All music is offered free of charge.
