“From neighborhoods of Portland to the neighborhoods of the world, The Pangaea Project seeks to create a bridge, a bridge of awareness, a bridge of consciousness, a bridge which envelopes the power of the human spirit, of the human heart.  To be, once again, Co-creators, we saw in the formation of Pangaea the essential creativity of one continent coming together, and then the splits that occurred creating so many different continents. And yet we are now recreating through this moment, through the power of so many musicians here, helping you recreate the world, bring the world back together again through a unity of awareness that we are all one.

What a great gift it is that Pangaea will give to so many inner-city young people, to be able to have the experience of moving out of their own neighborhoods and into the neighborhoods of the world, to see with their eyes their brothers and sisters and how they live 12,000 miles away. To see their brothers and sisters who speak many different tongues, many different colors, many different faiths, beliefs and non-beliefs, to come to an awareness of human unity. Pangaea is building on that advancing tide of human unity. It is helping to create it by enabling young people to achieve an experience which otherwise they would be deprived of, this experience of discovery. Every moment in our lives when we achieve discovery, it has a profound effect on us. It informs the rest of our life. So this work that you will hear tonight, this work of music, which derives from the archetype of the music of the spheres itself is the work of creativity, of creating new possibilities for the young people of this community and helping to build a new structure for peace in the world. Thank you.”
