Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, and Laurie Anderson will perform at the Tibet House US 33rd Anniversary Benefit Concert, Rolling Stone reports.

The benefit will be held at Carnegie Hall in New York City on February 26, 2020. Composer Philip Glass, the artistic director of the show, crafted the lineup of performers, which also includes Phoebe Bridgers, Margo Price, Bettye LaVette, and the Scorchio Quartet. Tibetan musician Tenzin Choegyal and composer Jesse Paris Smith will also perform, both of whom collaborated with Laurie Anderson on the September-released Songs From the Bardo, an album based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

Proceeds from the concert benefit Tibet House US, a non-profit organization founded in 1987 at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The organization is “dedicated to preserving Tibet’s unique culture at a time when it is confronted with extinction on its own soil.”

Can you help us at a critical time?

COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.

Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?

No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?
