Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet. In October 2014 during the "Peace Through Music World Tour" in the Brazilian city of Curitiba, the PFC Band performed a magical night of music in front of a sold-out crowd to benefit the creation of a new PFC Foundation music school in the community. There are moments when music transcends the darkness and shows us the light. This is one of those moments.
