Planting music as a seed of harmony
About The Peace Cello
Peace Cello is the personal brand and platform of Maestro Diego Carneiro—cellist, conductor, and Rotary Peace Fellow. Through concerts, education, and community projects, Peace Cello advances dialogue, healing, and cultural exchange through music.
This initiative transforms the simple act of musical performance into a powerful tool for peace-building and community connection. Each note played carries a message of hope, unity, and the shared human experience that transcends all boundaries.
