The performance features multiphonic chanting, also known as zokkay, where in the monks simultaneously intone three notes of a chord. The Drepung Loseling monks are particularly renowed for this unique singing. They also utilize traditional instruments such as 10-foot long dung-chen horns, drums, bells, cymbals and gyaling trumpets. Rich brocade costumes and masked dances, such as the Dance of the Sacred Snow Lion, add to the exotic splendor.

The funds raised from this concert will go to support over 3,000 monks currently living in exile at the Drepung Loseling Monastery, in India.
