Praise for the 2014 Tibet House US Benefit Concert

“…concert attendees rushing toward the stage looked as if they might tear the building apart.” – New York Times

 “…an evening of unexpected collaborations…” – Wall Street Journal

“Fans jumped high in their seats…Carnegie Hall is a seated venue but music lovers were eager and lost in the music…” – Associated Press

“For a few glorious moments, New York’s Carnegie Hall devolved into a scene straight out of a CBGB fever dream…many in the crowd could no longer take it, storming to the front of the stage and going completely apeshit. It was the kind of scene only possible at the Tibet House benefit…” – Rolling Stone
