Sapporo City Jazz Festival Japan - 2007

Jazz never sounded or looked so good in a Pacific Dome at the Sapporo City Jazz festival. Dozens of artists performed for this annual event. This is the first of music concerts to be held in many concert and projection domes throughout Japan.

This 90′ diameter dome is huge, as you can see by the people in contrast with the dome, with an internal floor space of 6,100 sq.ft and standing 45′ tall at the center, as tall a 4 1/2 story building.

What a beautiful day for a music festival in Sapporo, Japan!

Earth Dance International - 2007

Earthdance was conceived in 1996 by artist/musician Chris Deckker, as a vision to unite the whole world through the universal platform of dance and music. Earthdance has now become the largest global synchronized dance event in the world.

What began in 1997, with 22 cities in 18 countries has now occurred in over 360 locations with 340 locations in 57 countries participating in 2006 alone! Rising out of the global electronic music scene, Earthdance has now grown to include a diverse cross-section of musical genres including world music, jazz, conscious hip-hop, folk and reggae.

Earthdance has shown how the potent combination of music, dance and technology can be harnessed for positive and humanitarian aims. For one night all around the globe, people join together to dance as one global community, united with a common vision for peace and humanitarian aims.

Every year, Earthdance continues to grow in volume and scope. This year we are gearing up to include as many people on the planet as possible through a number of new initiatives and by making the Prayer for Peace track available to everyone.
