THE FUSE

In 1987, a years-long goal of the Dalai Lama became a reality when the Tibet House US was formed in New York City as a cultural center to preserve Tibetan culture. Since then, the Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert has established itself as one of the most singular benefit shows in a city with no shortage of them, bringing popular and classical musicians from both the East and West to the same stage at Carnegie Hall for one night. “What happens is that people meet for the first time and start collaborating, and things that would never happen any other place happen here,” Philip Glass once told Billboard about the annual event.
