Sliding Scale $100-$10 at the door



Join Jennifer Berezan; Wes “Scoop Nisker; Eve Decker (of Rebeccca Riots) and Kent Welsh; Betsy Rose; Alan Senauke; and Kevin Griffin for an exciting and engaging evening of Dharma through music.



Proceeds go to the Clearview Project’s Adopt-a-Monk program; which provides services for incarcerated nuns and monks in Burma/Myanmar.



In addition to Christmas, Hannukah, Kwaanza, and other December religious celebrations, Buddhists around the world celebrate the Awakening of the Buddha (Bodhi Day) in the month of December. Even if you are not a Buddhist, this benefit concert is sure to provide the celebrative, sacred, and inspiring qualities we hope to find in this season. And you can feel part of the season of giving knowing the money you offer at the door will go to provide desperately needed relief to nuns and monks imprisoned after the Saffron Revolution in 2007.



"The Saffron Revolution was and is essentially not a struggle for political power. It is a revolution of the spirit that aims at changing Burma from the inside out. With loving-kindness, we intend to change the hearts & minds of Burma ’s generals, returning them to their inborn buddha nature."

— International Burmese Monks Organization
