Carter is known for his love of music. The event calendar highlights a quote from him that explains why a concert was organized in his honor on the occasion of his upcoming 100th birthday: “Music is the best proof that people have one thing in common, no matter where they live, no matter what language they speak.”

“Whether on his record player, on the campaign trail, or on the White House lawn, music was and continues to be a source of joy, comfort and inspiration for my grandfather,” said Jason Carter, President Carter's grandson and chairman of the Carter Center Board of Trustees. “I can't think of a better way to celebrate him and his 100th birthday than with a night of music.”
