NEW YORK, NY (CelebrityAccess) – The annual Tibet House Benefit usually takes place at NYC’s Carnegie Hall. However, due to COVID-19, the benefit will once again go virtual, taking place March 3 at 8pm EST via Mandolin. Tickets are available now.

The Tibet House US was formed in 1987 at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who wished for a long-term cultural institution to ensure the survival of Tibeton civilization and culture. The foundation’s mission states, Tibet House US is dedicated to preserving Tibet’s unique culture at a time when it is confronted with extinction on its own soil. By presenting Tibetan civilization and its profound wisdom, beauty, and special art of freedom to the people of the world, we hope to inspire others to join the effort to protect and save it. Tibet House US is part of a worldwide network of Tibetan institutions committed to ensuring that the light of the Tibetan spirit never disappears from the face of this earth.
The Tibet House US benefit concert is held each year in celebration of the Tibetan New Year and celebrates it’s 35th year in 2022. Past performers have included David Bowie, Dave Matthews, The Roots, Iggy Pop and many others. All proceeds go to support the work of Tibet House US.
