James Taylor will perform a benefit concert for Haiti at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington, MA, on Friday, January 22 at 8 pm. Proceeds from "Help for Haiti: An Intimate Evening with James Taylor" will benefit Partners in Health. The event will be simulcast on WAMC Northeast Public Radio. Mr. Taylor and his wife Kim will match proceeds from all ticket sales. Tickets are $100 (upper balcony), $200 (orchestra and mezzanine), and $1,000 (golden circle including private post-show reception with the artists) and will go on sale on Tuesday, January 19 at 9 am via Mahaiwe.org and in person at the Mahaiwe box office (14 Castle Street in Great Barrington, MA). No phone sales are available for this concert and there is a limit of four tickets per person.
"Our hearts go out to everyone in Haiti," said Mr. Taylor. "We need to do everything we can to help the country recover after this tragic earthquake. I'm grateful to do my part and hope my neighbors here in the Berkshires will join me and be as generous as possible."
Mr. Taylor will be joined by his longtime singers Kate Markowitz, Arnold McCuller, his wife, Kim, and Boston Symphony Orchestra cellist Owen Young.

The vast majority of PIH staff are local nationals based in the communities they serve.
