Nelson Mandela's Centenary Concert
Singers and supporters of all ages are invited to Mandela's 100th Birthday will be Wednesday, July 18th at 8pm at WorldBeat Center. The Peace Train is an international movement that began in 1992 in South Africa to help Nelson Mandela transcend the barriers of Apartheid by forming a 500-voice, multiracial and multicultural youth choir. Started by two women who were born on opposite sides of Apartheid's barriers, Sharon Katz and Nonhlanhla Wanda, The Peace Train has been conducting projects with diverse groups around the world for over 25 years, to sing in harmony as one Human race. In 2018, The Peace Train's founders will bring singers from Northern, Central and Southern California across the border into Mexico as part of their Transcending Barriers project.
