This Stanford tradition of remembering Daniel Pearl through music reflects the open spirit, inclusiveness, and ecumenical tastes of its honoree. This year’s program features music of all seven Muslim-majority countries affected by the travel ban of early 2017. Addressing questions of migration, cultural identity, and global harmony seems a fitting way to pay tribute.
