Our goal is twofold: to reopen the doors of our church by providing a haven and Art Academy - Museum for the children and youth in Brooklyn. Currently our building is unsafe and in dire need of repairs, we need help restoring this 125 year old historic building and opening the first Museum of its kind in East New York, Brooklyn. Join our team in positively impacting the quality of lives for families in this neighborhood as well as strenghtening a distressed community. We enrich, we encourage, we empower people to live better lives! Would you please support our cause by buying tickets to our first Benefit Concert at JAZZ on the Park, sponsored by JAZZ for Peace.

On September 25, 2002, Jazz Pianist & Vocalist Rick DellaRatta was invited to lead a band consisting of: 'Israeli, Middle Eastern, European, Asian & American' Jazz musicians in a concert inside the United Nations, for an international audience. Rick named this band, "Jazz For Peace™" Jazz for Peace's mission is to help advance people to their highest potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading peace through our "Jazz For Peace™ Concerts" worldwide - joining forces (or performing) with multi-cultural musicians to spread peace through the artform of Jazz and entering regions that are politically controversial. By the means of live concerts, video taping, on hands/ on-line teaching as well as supplying musical instruments to under-privileged children in under developed areas worldwide, Jazz for Peace will re-enforce what past history has proven - that the art form of Jazz has the ability to create a positive effect that unites people and may eventually start to transform the barriers and issues of different cultures and beliefs.

"It is actually the quality of DellaRatta's voice that grows on me more & more with repeated listenings. At first I felt that Rick's strengths as a pianist were foremost, but with time I have come to understand that Dellaratta's skill as a vocalist is not to be underestimated."His voice has quite a haunting quality to it, being slightly androgenous in tone, sometimes ghostly.... sometimes sexy.
