SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco, CA - Earth Day in San Francisco will never be the
same after experiencing this once in a lifetime celebration. Come and revel in music, dance,
and spirit this Earth Day featuring special guest, former Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart,
plus many other spectacular performers. The celebration, will begin at 3:00 with an
Environmental Fair in the Cathedral Plaza and at 4:30 the live musical and dance
performances will take place in the Cathedral (Grace Cathedral, 1100 California St. at
Taylor, 415-749-6300).

The music will be an eclectic blend of the world's musical traditions. Tibetan temple bells will
blend with the Cathedral Organ. Vocal performances will range from Native American and
Muslim Chants to Spirituals and Choral canticles. Representatives from a diverse range of
religious paths will participate in the festivities, including Native American, Islamic, Hindu,
Jewish, Pagan, and Christian.

Experience The beam, an electronic monochord, taken out of retirement by Mickey Hart;
didjeridu, Uilleann pipes and droning instruments from other cultures; the voices of popular
vocalists Rhiannon, and SoVoSo's David Worm and Joey Blake; and the raised tones of the
audience in a unique improvisational piece, commissioned solely for Earth Day at Grace
Cathedral. This original piece will provide an incredible soundscape for a performance by
renowned Butoh dance company, Harupin-Ha.

Live webcast of this event at 4:30 p.m. (Pacific), Sunday, April 22nd at
www.GraceCathedral.org.

The event begins with an Environmental Fair at 3:00 p.m. sponsored by SAFE (Spiritual
Alliance for Earth), an interfaith ecological movement formed in the Bay Area that aims to
bring together people from all spiritual traditions to find a common cause in caring for
creation. Representatives from organizations with a commitment of stewardship for the
environment will be present. Come and see how you can turn your concerns into action.

This event is produced by GraceCom, the Media Ministry of Grace Cathedral and is the
inaugural event for SAFE (the Spiritual Alliance for Earth). A Song of Creation, and SAFE are
endorsed by the national Earth Day office in Seattle, and publicized in many publications,
