An Artist for Peace

In a world where the word “war” has become part of everyday reality for many — and where innocent people often bear the consequences — music must become a call for reflection and solidarity.

Polish drummer Dorota Piotrowska — an artist who spent eight years on the New York jazz scene and also worked with the United Nations — speaks through art.

“Words, thoughts, and sounds have power — and through music, I want to use mine to spark reflection and dialogue.”

Nine concerts across Poland and Romania, held under the motto “Peace for the World,” are the result of the artist’s deep reflections — for whom jazz becomes a universal language of understanding, and concerts a space where sound connects traditions and opens doors to conversations about what truly matters.

Each concert will be not only a musical event but also a statement — promoting one of the artist’s “10 Steps to Peace”:

1. Acknowledge the suffering of others — we are all part of one humanity.

2. Listen — dialogue before action.

3. Justice matters — without fairness, peace will not last.

4. Voices together — include women, youth, and local actors.

5. Break the cycle — address causes, not only symptoms.

6. Disarm fear — reduce weapons, reduce mistrust.

7. Respect everyone — equality, dignity, and human rights at the core.

8. Heal through art — reconciliation, memory, and cultural expression.

9. Act early — prevention is cheaper and safer than war.

10. Sustain hope, dialogue, and art — peace is a daily practice, not a one-time event.
