Starting in 2019, a violin was donated to the Mike Block String Camp in Vero Beach, FL. in honor of Daniel Pearl, a journalist and violinist who was killed in 2002 in Pakistan. Daniel's family has set up a foundation in his name that sponsors thousands of concerts in a year in his memory during World Music Days, as well as nurturing people's love of writing.

This year's recipient is Rose Underkofler. Click headline for complete article. Photo credit - The Windham Eagle
