The Lincoln Centre in New York will host a charity event organised by actor Richard Gere and Philip Glass on 21 Sep in aid of Healing The Divide.
The event will feature performances from Philip Glass, opera vocalist Jessye Norman, Tibetan musician Nawang Khechog, African artist Foday Musa Suso, the Buddhist Monks from the Gyuto Tantric Choir, experimental jazz act Kronos Quartet and Native American flautist R Carlos Nakai. As if that wasn’t enough it will also feature a special address by the Dalai Lama.
Healing the Divide was established in Jan last year, and raises money for impoverished communities throughout China, Mongolia, Russia, India, Nepal and Bhutan.
