Background and more info about the project--borrowed from this "Introduction and Project Description" page: 

https://piv-kas.blogspot.com/p/mismmop-introduction-and-project.html, listed in the Minab School Memorial Monument for Peace (MISMMOP) initiative's DIRECTORY page, linked above. 

Paragraph # 6 of the Introduction Section:

The "formal" birth (on May 5, 2026) of our MISMMOP, the "mother" initiative of the "Minab Lullaby" peace concerts, was announced a week later on May 12, as a major part of the 40th anti-war townhall organized by the Peace-seeking Iranian Veterans and the National Peace and Democracy Coalition of Iran, elaborated herein: https://piv-kas.blogspot.com/p/special-events.html.  In this U.S.-based Zoom gathering the project's initial plan (herein--currently being further-developed, gradually, by Moji Agha and our MISMMOP allies) was introduced and partially discussed. 

7- In the above-mentioned May 12 Zoom gathering the idea of composing a bilingual (Persian-English) Iranian-American song for the MISMMOP initiative was proposed by Moji Agha and was gracefully agreed to by Sharon Abreu; and the next day (May 13) Moji Agha spontaneously composed--upon waking up from sleep--the initial Persian-English draft musical lyrics for such a song/musical piece; hence, Sharon and Moji formed our project's "Minab Lullaby" working group (talking on Zoom on May 22) and have been working together, since then, on the development of the song's melody, orchestration, etc.  

And on June 23, 2026, in the 43rd anti-war townhall Zoom, organized by the Peace-seeking Iranian Veterans and the National Peace and Democracy Coalition of Iran, Moji proposed the idea that Sharon could possibly present -- in the Spring of 2027 -- a major "Minab Lullaby" peace concert, hosted by the Music Department (and especially its Music and Peacebuilding academic track) at the Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) in Harrisonburg, Virginia, U.S. The next morning, Sharon enthusiastically embraced the idea, and the relevant outreach emails were kindly initiated by Rev. Dr. Loren Swartzendruber, EMU's President Emeritus. 

And since June 23rd, Sharon, her musical (and life) partner, Michael Hurwicz, and Moji have been planning several additional "Minab Lullaby" peace concerts (starting from Sept. of 2026) in Washington state, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and perhaps other states.  As the musical director of this Music and Peacebuilding collaborative project, Sharon and Michael have agreed, generously, to donate to MISMMOP half of the donations that would result from these nonprofit benefit concerts.  And pasted above is the promotional poster of their performance in Tucson, Arizona, in early October of 2026.
