Danny's spirit sang through his music, whether he was performing with community orchestras, teaching violin to children, playing fiddle or mandolin with folk and bluegrass bands, or simply jamming with friends and strangers.

As a tribute to his life and as a way to unite around his spirit, we invite you to create or support a musical event in your community on Danny's birthday, October 10th.

Currently events are being planned in the U.S., Asia, and Europe (see the current list of events). Music Day events have been written up in Reuters, L.A. Times, and L.A. Daily News.

We encourage you to approach local orchestras, bands and music venues to dedicate a program in his honor. Classical, jazz, blues and folk music are especially encouraged.

Feel free to use our sample letter for approaching orchestras, bands, and venues.

To help publicize a Music Day event in your area, feel free to use our sample letter for local media.

Tell us about a confirmed Music Day event in your area by sending us an email, and we'll add it to the listing on our site! Please include a description of the event, as well as date, time, and location.
