One World with the 14th Dalai Lama

In October, Syracuse University recognizes world peace by hosting multiple campus-wide events. These range from themed dinners in the cafeterias to crazy concerts in the Carrier Dome.


The "One World Concert" is featuring a public talk by the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, as well as more than 20 different performances from worldwide entertainers. These include:
  • Whoopi Goldberg (as emcee)
  • Don Was and his All-Star Band
  • Dave Matthews
  • Counting Crows 
  • Cyndi Lauper
  • Nelly Furtado 
  • Phillip Phillips
  • Andy Grammar 
  • Nas
  • David Crosby
  • A.R. Rahman
  • Angélique Kidjo
  • Voices of Afghanistan 
  • Matisyahu
  • Souad Massi
  • Emmanuel Jal
  • Liel Kolet
  • Andy Madadlan
  • Engelburt Humperdinck
  • Natasha Bedingfield
  • Swizz Beatz
  • Bebe Winans 
  • Roberta Flack 
  • David Sanborn
  • Joanne Shenandoah 

I am not familiar with most of these people, but I would not miss this concert for anything. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 2PM and I am predicting a major system crash for the online box office. Best of speed, SU peeps.
