Peace Concert 2009
Saturday 8, August, 3pm to 5pm
State Library Village Roadshow Theatrette
A community event to commemorate the 64th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and to promote and commit ourselves to a lasting peace.
This event, organized by 'Japanese for Peace - www.jfp.org.au', will bring together a diverse array of people to acknowledge and learn from the mistakes of the past and present. We will come together to imagine a world where our creativity and our technological power is used in the promotion of life, not destruction. Peace comes from understanding and respect. We will celebrate and share each other’s arts and cultures which bring colour to our lives, and hope for the future.
