Concert for Japan with Philip Glass and Hal Willner + Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson and John Zorn + Ryuichi Sakamoto + Bill Laswell with gigi band

Given John Zorn's deep artistic engagement with Japanese culture over the years, it comes as no surprise that he's quickly spearheaded a series of mighty impressive fund-raisers. The big acts headlining this one are playing during two designated gala blocks, both of which are sold out, but there's still plenty to warrant your support, including traditional Japanese music at 11am and 2:45pm, and Asian and American indie-rock acts at 8pm.
