David Lynch Foundation will be hosting their extraordinary “Silence the Violence” benefit concert which will feature performances by headlining artists, Katy Perry, Norah Jones, and Mavis Staples. The benefit concert will bring the filmmaker and the artists together at The Anthem on Friday, October 11. The benefit concert will also showcase the talents of the Celebration Gospel Choir, Jeremy Elliot, and more.

The proceeds from the concert will be used to bring the evidence-based Transcendental Meditation technique to vulnerable communities in D.C., through in-school and after school programs, churches and community centers, recovery programs, and detention centers in partnership with THEARC (Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus). Research has shown that Transcendental Meditation helps to reduces stress, heals PTSD, lowers substance abuse, improves academic performance and graduation rates, and reduces arrests for violent crime. 

Tickets still remain for this great night of music. Be sure to visit The Anthem’s website to pick up tickets while they still last and we’ll see you at The Anthem on October 11th. Doors are at 5:30 PM. Show at 7 PM.
