- Is this a political event?
- NO. Solstice Sing for Peace is a grassroots movement/event. Politicians and government officials are welcome to participate, but politics should not be part of the event.
- Why sing on the Solstice?
- The June solstice is symbolically the longest day of the year – a perfect time to focus on the positive aspects of cooperation and peace.
- Will SSP help me or my group to organize a concert or event?
- No. All events need to be organized on the local level, utilizing local talent and local sponsorship.
- How do I/we organize an event?
- Please see the RESOURCES page for help and create your own event page at the Solstice Sing for Peace social network.
- Is it okay for groups & individuals to have joint concerts?
- YES! Band together, sing together, or sing in relays. The idea is for local groups around the world to sing. How you organize is up to you.
- How do I/we register?
- Registration isn’t necessary. Just join the social network to connect with other participants, create a public event or join an event near you.
- How do I/we get sponsorship for our local event?
- Please see the RESOURCES page for more information.
- I am a professional musician (or part of a professional group). Can we participate?
- Should we charge admission to our concert?
