Overview
Noorunisa Inayat Khan lived and died for the message of love, harmony and beauty. We will honor her on September 13 in Dachau with a memorial ceremony in the Crematorium at 5pm followed by a performance of the Bach B minor Mass at 6:30 in the convent just outside the camp walls. Please help us spread her story of hope to the world, and help musicians to participate in this project.

Why do we make music?

It comforts the soul.

And when we realize that we are all part of one soul,

We begin to understand how music can be a form of communication.

Imagine going to one of the most terrible places on earth

And filling it with some of the most beautiful music.

On Tuesday, September 13, over fifty musicians will gather

from Germany, Holland, Austria, Switzerland, France and the United States

In Dachau

And perform the Bach B minor Mass.

It will be in memory of Noorunisa Inayat Khan

A Muslim Sufi woman who gave her life as a British spy

For Jews, gays, gypsies, 

And all of humanity.

We will take inspiration from her courage

And make music as a collective prayer for peace.

We welcome your support
