World Music Day - October 1

In 1975, world renowned violinist and musicologist Lord Yehudi Menuhin, then president of the International Music Council, declared October 1 International Music Day.

The intention of the day is to encourage peace and friendship between people of various cultures and also to foster the exchange of experiences.

Today's President of International Music Council, Kifah Fakhouri, gives his message for this day. He says,

"Dear Friends and Colleagues,

On October 1st 1975, my predecessor Yehudi Menuhin proclaimed the first International Music Day, a day when all nations of the world would be given the opportunity to recognise the significance of music in the life of all people. Since then, International Music Day has from year to year been observed in more and more parts of the world as an important celebration of music.

Every October 1st, in communities throughout the world, amateurs and professionals unite to offer special events and presentations of music of every kind. Musicians of all ages, from the pre-schooler to the senior citizen, perform during the day for people from all walks of life. In many countries the broadcast and printed media promote the idea of International Music Day.

While retaining its festive character, the Day this year should encourage reflection upon the role of music in a globalised world. The International Music Council is concerned about the future of the world's musical and cultural diversity: our "Many Musics" action programme aims at promoting and sustaining efforts to enhance the appreciation, understanding and preservation of the rich musical heritage of the world. But the protection of musical diversity also calls upon the need to acknowledge and sustain creativity, which is "one of the major building blocks of freedom. Without creativity, cultural diversity would be like a museum instead of thriving on the nourishment of constantly renewed creations."

(K. Matsuura, UNESCO Director General).
