Annual Concerts

Annual benefit concert at carngie hall — A Highly Anticipated Event 

Since 1989, Tibet House has held an Annual Benefit Concert and Dinner Party celebrating the Tibetan New Year.

Held at legendary Carnegie Hall since 1993, Philip Glass, the benefit's esteemed Artistic Director and Vice President of Tibet House, creates an exceptional show every year, highlighted by unique collaborations between the artists.

The consistently sold-out concert features up and coming musicians and world artists, together with some of the music industry's biggest legends. The concert and dinner party have become an anticipated annual event in New York City.

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.
