Tenzin Choegyal is well-known for his musical performances and collaborations, many of which draw attention to Tibetan culture and the lives of Tibetans living in exile.

Tenzin performs all over the world, with Patti Smith and Philip Glass at Carnegie Hall and most recently, for His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Japan.

he is a Tibetan artist, composer, activist, musical director and cultural ambassador.

Born to a family of Tibetan nomads, Tenzin Choegyal was forced into exile in India as his family fled the repression in Tibet.

As a child, Tenzin would listen to his mother singing in the nomadic style and he attributes much of his passion for that genre to her early influence. Tenzin channels the wisdom and traditions of his ancestors through his songs.

This year he has organised a visit from three Tibetan nuns of Kopan Khachoe Ghakyil Ling Nunnery in Nepal.

Kopan nuns living in exile rarely participate in tours this far from home, so the opportunity to learn some of the traditional Tibetan music, chanting, and guided meditation is unique.

The concert and the meditation will raise funds for the Kopan Monastery.

The Prayer for Peace concert will share some of the most distinctive aspects of tradition of Tibetan nun’s chanting and Chod practice which is distinctive to the female practitioners.

This is a unique opportunity to experience the gift of beautiful music and unique tradition while at the same time providing valuable humanitarian assistance. 

The Nuns will share words of wisdom through beautiful mantras and Chod chants invoke one’s own positive qualities.
