context_section_description: The mission of the September Concert Foundation is to bring communities together, to reaffirm the hope for peace, and to celebrate our universal humanity.
  The foundation accomplishes this by inviting musicians of every age and genre to bring their gift of music anywhere space is available on the days surrounding the anniversary of September 11. Concerts are held in parks, gardens, schools, libraries, churches, restaurants, cafes, galleries, office buildings, stores, senior centers, community centers.
  There are three principles behind the September Concert:
  Freedom for anyone to organise a concert with any genre and venue;
  Equality between the different musicians and styles of music; and
  Accessibility: all of the concerts are free
