  • 1992 we created the first, 500-voice mixed race choir in South Africa to break through apartheid’s barriers

  •   The goal has been to spread Nelson Mandela’s dream of justice, equality and a better life for all.

  •   In 1993, The Peace Train became a moving billboard for that dream when 150 of the performers lived together in mixed-

    race compartments and traveled across South Africa by train, stopping at each town along the way to give concerts and

    encourage a peaceful transition to democracy – with freedom for all.

  •   With proceeds from CD sales and contributions to her non-profit organization, Friends of The Peace Train, Sharon has

    established music therapy programs for orphans and communities affected by HIV/AIDS; feeding programs in impoverished areas; conflict resolution work in violence-torn regions; and building schools and community arts centers. She also conducts workshops in schools and universities across America.
