Last Friday, a mix of hipsters, soccer moms, and high school students could be seen entering Carnegie Hall to attend the 20th annual Tibet House Benefit Concert. Curated by Philip Glass, Tibet House shows have a reputation of bringing diverse, uber-talented, politically-conscious musicians together to raise money and awareness for the plight of the Tibetan culture. Past musical guests have included Vampire Weekend, Sufjan Stevens, The National, Keb’ Mo’, Sigur Ros, and Lou Reed and this year’s line-up included Regina Spektor, Gogol Bordello, Patti Smith, and Iggy Pop.
