ABOUT PEAR
Through music,
Create a space to get to know each other.
PEAR is an organization that uses music, art, and choral singing as means of "resonance" to promote cultural exchange across national borders.
What is the International Association for Co-creation of Peace and Art (PEAR)?
The International Association for Co-creation of Peace and Arts (PEAR), a general incorporated association, is an organization that promotes cross-border cultural exchange by using music, art, and choral singing as means of "resonance."
Through collaborations with artists from around the world, including the Zolani Youth Choir of South Africa, and through the operation of the choral project "VOX TERRA," we aim to create a peaceful society where people's minds and bodies are in harmony and diversity resonates with one another.
PEAR's aim is not merely to provide performances and entertainment, but rather to foster the ability of young people to be exposed to diverse cultures and values, express themselves through their own voices, and collaborate with others, through music, choral singing, and dialogue.
