Last Tuesday, The Tibet House hosted its 19th annual benefit concert at New York's Carnegie Hall. Tibet House co-founder Phillip Glass once again served as the event's Master of Ceremonies, introducing a number of the evening's performers, while still keeping the benefit's theme tightly focused on the political situations facing Tibet. Performances included Antibalas, The National (who performed two new, untitled songs), Vampire Weekend, Patti Smith, Steve Earle, Angelique Kidjo, Keb' Mo', Philip Glass, and his son Zack (whose performance served as an alternate answer to that age old question, how does one get to Carnegie Hall). The Monks from the Drepung Gomang Monastery started things off, with each band that followed playing two songs, and the night culminating with an all-star encore.
