(New York, NY - February 4, 2014) - The National's Matt Berninger, Aaron Dessner & Bryce Dessner and Robert Randolph will join the exciting line-up for the 24th Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert on March 11, 2014, at New York City's Carnegie Hall.  Chuck Close, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard have been named Honorary Chairpersons for the evening.

These additions will join previously announced artists: godfather of punk Iggy Pop, rock 'n' roll icon Joe Walsh, Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham and Tom Chapman from synth-pop trailblazers New Order, rock visionary and poet Patti Smith and her Band & musician Jesse Smith, lauded American composer Philip Glass, brilliant American composer Nico Muhly and Tibetan folk and freedom singer/songwriter Techung. The evening is once again curated by artistic director Philip Glass.

A very special addition to the concert comes in the form of a one-of-a-kind collaboration between one of the UK's leading performance poets Mike Garry and lauded British composer Joe Duddell. The pair have set Garry's celebrated ode to legendary Factory Records owner, Anthony H. Wilson, to music.  The musical version of "Saint Anthony," is inspired by "Your Silent Face" by New Order, one of the many legendary bands that Wilson signed. Bernard Sumner of New Order will be on hand to perform during this extraordinary moment. This will be just one of many mind-blowing collaborations that will take place on stage that night.
