OP-ED: Beyond the Concert for Bangladesh

The spirit of George Harrison continues this week
As an apt way of marking the 50th anniversary of George Harrison’s Concert for Bangladesh in 1971, I recommend an online ticket to view the Concert from Bangladesh on Sunday August 1.

This international multimedia event organized by the Samdani Art Foundation will showcase a diverse array of Bangladeshi musicians and help raise funds for charity.

When Ravi Shankar first asked George Harrison to do a benefit event for the millions of refugees fleeing the border into India during the Bangladesh Liberation War, he envisaged a small venue with an appearance by their mutual friend Peter Sellers.
