CONCERTS FOR JAPAN
Downtown Musicians Come Together for Japan

“We are all overwhelmed by the tragic devastation that has been happening in Japan and want to do what we can to help. These 5 benefit concerts came about because of people’s selfless generosity and open hearts―because of the power of friendship and love. Events of this kind do more than raise money, they bring people together and help us to heal. Please join us.”             —John Zorn

Love& support for JAPAN


Japan Earthquake Relief Fund


Japan Society has created a disaster relief fund to aid victims of the Tohoku earthquake in Japan. Over the years, Japan Society has partnered with several Japanese and American non-profits working on the frontlines of disaster relief and recovery. 100% of your generous tax-deductible contributions will go to organization(s) that directly help victims recover from the devastating effects of the earthquake and tsunamis that struck Japan on March 11, 2011.

Japan Society is investigating and vetting organizations that can make the maximum impact, both in terms of immediate relief needs as well as the longer term recovery process. Please bear with as we work out these important details. We will announce fund recipient organizations on our website as soon as possible.
