Tibet House US XX Annual Benefit
Concert Carnegie Hall
(Line-up & Ticket Information to Follow!)
Celebrating Tibetan New Year
While the Tibet House Annual Concert is a memorable way to celebrate Tibetan New Year, this auspicous event is traditionally celebrated with two weeks of festivities in Lhasa. Begun in 1409, the Monlam Prayer Festival, as it was known, has been prohibited by the Chinese Communists since 1959.
The worldwide Tibetan exile community continues to observe the Prayer Festival. Tibet House honors this tradition by having its annual fundraising event at this time.
Giving Back
In keeping with the spirit of generosity, each year Tibet House US donates a portion of the proceeds to other non-profit organizations such as the Tibetan Community of New York & New Jersey, Tibetan Children's Village, Farm Aid, Batonga Foundadtion and others.
