Tibet House US expands the lineup for its 39th Annual Benefit Concert on March 3 at Carnegie Hall with the addition of Robert De Niro and Elvis Costello. The legendary actor will read excerpts from Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum Address, the basis in part for Philip Glass’ Symphony No. 15 “Lincoln,” adding a powerful spoken-word dimension to one of New York City’s most enduring cultural events.
Symphony No. 15 “Lincoln” draws on Abraham Lincoln’s words and moral vision, reflecting on leadership, unity, and compassion. Glass recently withdrew the premiere from the Kennedy Center, citing a conflict between the symphony’s message and the center’s current values. The work now finds resonance within the mission of Tibet House US.
Previously announced performers include Laurie Anderson, Maya Hawke, Kate Pierson of The B-52s, Allison Russell, Jesse Malin, Toro y Moi, Christian Lee Hutson, Elysian Fields, The Philip Glass Ensemble, Tony Shanahan, Tenzin Choegyal, The Resistance Revival Chorus, and The Scorchio Quartet. Honorary chairs Uma Thurman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Arden Wohl, and Jonah Freeman support the evening.
Founded in 1987 at the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tibet House US remains dedicated to preserving Tibetan culture and traditions of compassion and nonviolence. The annual benefit concert stands as one of New York’s longest-running cultural gatherings, uniting artists and audiences for a singular night of music and purpose.
Candid Records and Chick Corea Productions release ‘Forever Yours: The Farewell Performance’ on CD and 2LP vinyl, capturing the final concerts of the legendary pianist. Recorded just four months before his passing at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida, the album stands as a defining document of the Chick Corea solo experience. It carries both intimacy and magnitude.
The liner notes include tributes from Alicia Keys, Herbie Hancock, Hans Zimmer, Robert Glasper, Bobby McFerrin, Stanley Clarke, Lang Lang and others, underscoring Corea’s reach across generations and genres. The release follows the 2026 GRAMMY win for ‘Trilogy 3’ in Best Jazz Performance, a recognition that affirmed his enduring impact.
The program moves seamlessly between Corea originals such as “Armando’s Rhumba” and selections from ‘Children’s Songs,’ alongside works by Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Stevie Wonder, Bill Evans and Duke Ellington. “He could showcase some unexpected connections in an exciting way,” said longtime collaborator Bernie Kirsh. The performance flows with technical mastery and joyful swing.
Corea’s spoken interludes remain intact, revealing his warmth and humor as he introduces pieces and invites audience members onstage for improvised “Portrait” compositions. An official video for “Overjoyed” further celebrates his artistry. ‘Forever Yours: The Farewell Performance’ resonates as a profound farewell and a vivid reminder of a pianist whose influence continues to shape jazz.
Fresh off her first Top 20 pop radio single, “Castle,” songwriting savant and rising pop star, Haven Madison, has delivered another anthemic cut entitled “Uncross Your Heart” via BMG. The bold pop anthem marks the next chapter in Madison’s evolution, deepening her signature blend of candid songwriting and authentic emotional expression. Listen to “Uncross Your Heart”HERE.
“When I wrote ‘Uncross Your Heart,’ I was trying to create an anthemic song that makes peace with being lied to in a relationship,” Madison shares. “We worked hard to find the perfect blend of ‘sing your heart out’ and ‘rage,’ for anyone who knows just how frustrating those kinds of relationships can be.”
On “Uncross Your Heart,” Madison flips the childhood oath “cross your heart and hope to die” into a sharp and danceable pop anthem about the moment you realize ‘forever’ never actually meant forever. Inspired by a breakup, the track captures the sting of being discarded after giving someone your everything. Pairing bright, euphoric production with cutting emotional clarity, “Uncross Your Heart” is equal parts vindication and release: a girls-night-out-ready anthem designed to make listeners feel validated and empowered.
This spring, Madison will join Broadway breakout star, Jason Schmidt, for his Butterfly Tour. Madison will open for Schmidt for five shows, including Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Cleveland, and Washington D.C. For more information and tickets, please visit https://www.havenmadison.com/tour/.
Madison has quickly emerged as one of pop’s most promising new voices. After returning to Nashville and sharpening her sound, she released a run of standout singles that culminated in a major breakout last year with “Castle,” which took off at Top 20 radio and further cemented her growing national fanbase.

Indie orchestral architect Andrew Bird continues the 20th anniversary celebration of ‘The Mysterious Production of Eggs’ with an expanded symphonic tour and a sweeping new box set. The era-defining album, recorded and scrapped three times before release, returns in grand scale, performed in full with leading orchestras across the US and abroad.
The orchestral run includes newly added dates in San Francisco, Cincinnati, New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis. Bird opens with Britten Sinfonia at London’s Barbican Hall, then reimagines Eggs alongside symphonies and philharmonics throughout the year. The album now lives in concert halls with the same restless spirit that shaped it.
A deluxe 20th Anniversary Box Set is available now, featuring 3LPs, previously unheard demos, live takes, alternate versions, and Nu Deco Ensemble arrangements. The collection includes 54 pages of unseen photos, reflective essays by Andrew Bird and Anders Lindall, and new artwork by Jay Ryan. A digital companion release, ‘Borrow or Rob,’ streams now with unreleased tracks “Blood” and “Capital I.”
“I was playing all day and night in a kind of fever,” Bird told The Guardian. “I was 29 and had been feeling like a has-been, but suddenly I felt like an artist.” Two decades later, ‘The Mysterious Production of Eggs’ remains a cornerstone of indie music, its loops, whistles, and poetic architecture still resonating across generations.

Joy Harjo, the musician, activist, and former National Poet Laureate, will release her new album, Insomnia and Seven Steps to Grace, on April 24th via Smithsonian Folkways. Produced by Grammy-winning composer, bassist, and vocalist esperanza spalding, it is Harjo’s debut release for the label.
On the album, Harjo treads the fertile ground at the intersection of jazz and poetry, leaning into the improvisational aspects of both while incorporating other sonic touchstones from throughout her life: prog rock, grunge, and, crucially, the traditional music of Native communities throughout the Southwest. “This musical project has found its footing during a time of thick-layered turmoil throughout our communities,’” Harjo writes in the album’s extensive liner notes which give shape to Harjo’s history as an artist, poet, and musician. At once playful, confrontational, and devotional, Insomnia and Seven Steps to Grace arrives shaped by collective upheaval, ancestral memory, and the enduring power of art to bear witness and create change. Like in her acclaimed books of poetry, Harjo explores her matriarchal lineage, the struggle for justice for marginalized peoples, and her own cultural heritage as a member of the Muscogee Nation. Reflecting on what we can show future generations when they look back to see how we responded when confronted with injustice, Harjo remarks: “They will look to our arts.” In this way, “this album is an offering.”
Harjo and spalding’s artistic collaboration came out of their initial meeting in 2017, when they were both awarded Art of Change Ford Foundation Fellowships in Chicago. “I had long admired the artistry of spalding, her precise magic in bass, voice, and connection, and hesitated to speak to her because I was in such awe,” Harjo wrote. “[T]hen there we were, as if we already knew each other.” Recorded at The Church Studio in Harjo’s hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Insomnia and Seven Steps to Grace was a chance for Harjo and spalding to work together, alongside guitarist Matthew Stevens and drummer Justin Tyson.
The title track opens the album in a suspended, otherworldly space—Harjo’s recitation floating over luminous harmonies and indie-rock guitar textures, guided by the imagery of the panther and the space between waking and dream. “In our family, we are related to the panther,” Harjo writes. “We need fresh dreaming to navigate what we are going to encounter.” Listen to “Insomnia and Seven Steps to Grace” HERE.
The record moves fluidly between moods: the noir-tinged, funk-driven “Rabbit Is Up to Tricks;” the marching, chaotic swell of “I Pray for My Enemies,” where Native flute echoes military fife (in Harjo’s rendition of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again”) and prayer becomes confrontation; and “Fear Redux,” which builds from a gnarly, driving bassline into gongs, tenderness, and reclamation as fear is named, faced, transformed. Elsewhere, Harjo performs music by Charles Mingus and the indigenous a capella group Ulali, pays tribute to James Brown, and plays alongside vocals from singer-songwriter Ganavya.
The album also pays homage to Harjo’s family and musical life, which started long before she emerged as a poet. As a child, she used to listen to her mother compose music at the family kitchen table and sing at parties around Tulsa. Despite her mother’s rich musical life, the norms and demands of the era made her mother unable to pursue the arts full-time. While assembling the album, Harjo’s sister uncovered a song called “My Guy,” which her mother wrote in the 1950s or ’60s but never released. Harjo, spalding, and Stevens reanimate “My Guy” on this album as a jazz-inflected love song featuring spalding’s vocals and punctuated by Harjo’s alto sax. “My mother would be so honored and thrilled to hear how esperanza makes vocal art of her songwriting art,” Harjo writes. “What a pairing!”
Throughout Insomnia and Seven Steps to Grace, sound itself becomes a guide, insisting that art is not an escape from hard times, but a way through them. “Because of what keeps us up at night,” Harjo writes, “the bad dreams, the good ones, the tenderness, the beauty, the heartache, the struggle: this album.”
GRAMMY-nominated pop powerhouse Alex Warren launches his next chapter with “Fever Dream,” a high-voltage single that captures life at full speed. Released via Atlantic Records, the track arrives after weeks of viral anticipation, with teaser clips drawing nearly 100 million views. It is bold, kinetic, and built for movement.
“Fever Dream” channels the rush of hard-hitting romance and the whirlwind of rising fame, inspired by Warren meeting his wife Kouvr and the chaos that followed. The hook lands instantly. The chorus soars. This is a sharp pivot into arena-sized pop, engineered for singalongs and late-night drives.
Directed by Andrew Theodore Balasia, the dreamlike video features a cameo from Paris Hilton and unfolds in surreal flashes of color and celebration. Warren plays an LA tourist bus driver drifting through absurd, electric scenes before snapping back to reality. The visuals mirror the song’s pulse, playful and unrestrained.
The momentum continues after Warren performed his 3 billion-stream global hit “Ordinary” with James Blunt at the BRIT Awards, where the track was nominated for International Song of the Year. Now, the Finding Family On The Road tour scales up with sold-out dates at The O2 and Madison Square Garden. The rise feels massive and earned.

The 37th GLAAD Media Awards land in Los Angeles on March 5, 2026, honoring culture-shaping voices across entertainment. This year’s ceremony spotlights powerhouse talent with Quinta Brunson receiving the Vanguard Award and Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers receiving the Stephen F. Kolzak Award. The event streams on Hulu March 21, amplifying LGBTQ stories to a global audience.
Brunson, the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning creator of Abbott Elementary, is recognized for advancing inclusive storytelling in mainstream television. Her portrayal of fully realized LGBTQ characters has shifted the sitcom landscape. “People be gay,” Brunson has said, distilling her philosophy into a cultural touchstone embraced far beyond the screen.
Yang and Rogers, co-hosts of the award-winning podcast Las Culturistas, are honored for raising visibility and championing queer joy as a cultural force. From TIME recognition to Emmy nominations and groundbreaking film and television work, their reach spans comedy, cinema, and podcasting. Their presence signals how central queer perspectives are to modern entertainment.
The ceremony features a special appearance by U.S. Olympic gold medalist Amber Glenn and a musical performance by Outstanding Breakthrough Music Artist nominee Eli. Additional appearances include Demi Lovato and host Jonathan Bennett, alongside a wide roster of creators and advocates. The GLAAD Media Awards remain the most prominent annual LGBTQ awards event in the world, delivering messages of acceptance with scale and impact.
Chicago-based folk-rock force Hurray for the Riff Raff return with ‘Live Forever’, a 14-song live album captured over two sold-out nights at the Old Town School of Folk Music. Out digitally March 20 and physically May 8 via Nonesuch Records, the release documents the band in peak form, rooted in community and locked into the room.
Fronted by Alynda Segarra, the record presents ‘The Past Is Still Alive’ in full alongside defining staples like “Precious Cargo,” “Pyramid Scheme,” and “Pa’lante.” A new live version of “Rhododendron” arrives today with performance footage from Old Town School. The energy is immediate and unfiltered, a band playing with grit and grace.
“I wanted to capture this time and this brilliant band, a moment that won’t last forever,” Segarra shares. “This record is a love letter to the working class musicians out there… It’s a thank you to all the fans supporting live music.” That spirit runs through every note, grounded in lived experience and collective strength.
Featuring Parker Grogan, Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, Marcus Drake, and Sen Morimoto, and produced by Johnny Wilson, ‘Live Forever’ stands as a testament to the touring unit that has circled the globe together. It is a document of connection and movement, a snapshot of a band at full power in their adopted home of Chicago.
