An all-star group of the most influential and socially responsible artists in music, film, and television are coming together for a special concert to celebrate the work and impact of President Clinton and his foundation since he completed his second term in the White House 10 years ago. "A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation" executive-produced by Control Room, the world's leading producer of massive global events, will feature special performances by Lady Gaga, Usher, a rare acoustic performance by U2's The Edge & Bono, and more, as well as a collection of short films that illustrate the Clinton Foundation history and global initiatives. The event will take place on October 15 at The Hollywood Bowl.

Through performances and film, "A Decade of Difference" will highlight the Clinton Foundation's efforts to improve global health, strengthen economies worldwide, promote healthier childhoods, and protect the environment. Over the past 10 years, President Clinton's vision and leadership have resulted in nearly 4 million people benefiting from lifesaving HIV/AIDS treatment; more than 12,000 U.S. schools building healthier learning environments; more than 26,000 micro-entrepreneurs, small business owners, and smallholder farmers improving their livelihoods and communities; and more than 2.2 million tons of greenhouse gases cut or abated in some of the world's largest cities. And he has redefined the way we think about giving and philanthropy through his Clinton Global Initiative, whose members have made over 2,000 commitments that have already improved the lives of 300 million people in more than 180 countries. In addition to his Foundation work, President Clinton has served as the top United Nations envoy for the Indian Ocean tsunami recovery effort and currently serves as the UN Special Envoy to Haiti and the co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission.
