Description

Please join us for a benefit concert featuring Philip Glass and Tim Fain to support the organization, House with Heart. This special, intimate performance will take place inside the exhibition Richard Serra: Equal at David Zwirner, located at 537 West 20th Street in New York.Philip Glass has long been associated with House with Heart, a home for abandoned children, an education center for impoverished women and children, and an outreach program for needy families in Kathmandu, Nepal.The April 25th earthquake and subsequent aftershocks and second major earthquake on May 12th caused major damage to the facility, which serves so many women and children living in poverty. Thankfully all of the children, staff, and women associated with House with Heart made it through the disaster without any loss of life, but the children are traumatized and are living with staff outside in tents and recently constructed temporary tin huts.The House with Heart facility will require a combination of rebuilding and significant retrofitting to make it habitable and safe in the event of another earthquake. Their goal is to re-start their programs and take in newly orphaned children as soon as rebuilding efforts allow. House with Heart has been working tirelessly providing emergency assistance to our neighbors, community organizations, and other devastated villages.For additional donations, please visit House with Heart.TICKETS $300 Performance only, limited seating $1,000 A cocktail reception will be held with the artists in a private gallery space immediately following the performance. This price includes the $300 performance ticket and signed books by the artists.Seating is General Admission.Richard Serra: Equal is a major new installation in forged weatherproof steel, currently on view at David Zwirner through July 24, 2015.For questions, please contact Isobel Nash at 212-517-8677, or isobel@davidzwirner.comArtwork © 2015 Richard Serra/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
