DC locals were treated to a unique experience Friday evening at The Anthem<\/strong> where they witnessed performances by top acts such as Katy Perry<\/strong> and Norah Jones<\/strong>, all while supporting a good cause. Presented by the David Lynch Foundation<\/strong>, the Silence the Violence<\/strong> benefit concert taught audience members about Transcendental Meditation. <\/p>\n

Throughout the event, video clips were shown to demonstrate the positive effects TM has had on hundreds of at-risk students at in the greater DC area, and how TM could be used to improve behavior and in turn reduce the rate of violence. Proceeds from the event will be used to bring the Transcendental Meditation technique to vulnerable communities in the District through in-school and after school programs, churches and community centers, recovery programs, and detention centers in partnership with THEARC<\/strong> (Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus). Previous research has claimed that TM reduces stress, heals PTSD, lowers substance abuse, improves academic performance and graduation rates, and reduces arrests for violent crime.<\/p>\n

First up to the stage was Norah Jones, who gracefully played at her piano and filled the room with a calming presence. She started her performance with her original song \u201cJust a Little Bit\u201d off her seventh studio album Begin Again. Jones dedicated the rest of her set to cover songs, including Neil Young\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Be Denied\u201d and Jesse Harris & The Ferdinandos\u2019 \u201cI\u2019ve Got to See You Again\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t Know Why\u201d.<\/p>\n

Next up was gospel singer Mavis Staples, also known from her family band The Staple Singers. Staples accompanied The celebration gospel choir to sing her hit \u201cChange\u201d, in addition to following the cover trend with William MacEwan’s \u201cWill the Circle Be Unbroken?\u201d and The Band’s “The Weight”. She ended her performance with a girthy performance of the Staple Singers\u2019 classic \u201cI\u2019ll Take You There\u201d.<\/p>\n

“Mental health is the number one challenge we’re facing in our lifetime. I’ve had depression in the past, and I’ve used my music and meditation to combat it. Once you learn it, it never goes away. You’ll have it for the rest of your life. Whenever I’m in a funky mood or if I’m jetlagged or if I’m anxious – I’ll say just give me 20 minutes, and I will go deep and come back out a transformed person. I’m here tonight because I hope that we can give this tool [of meditation] to so many young people that are suffering.” – Katy Perry<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Ending the evening\u2019s performances was pop icon Katy Perry. The American Idol judge opted for instrumental versions of some of her top hits, including \u201cChained to the Rhythm\u201d, \u201cRoar\u201d, \u201cWide Awake\u201d and \u201cRise\u201d. After pausing the performance to encourage audience members to pull out their phones and donate to the good cause, she ended the night by going back to her gospel roots with a mashup of \u201cOh Happy Day\u201d and \u201cFirework\u201d. <\/p>\n

Previous David Lynch Foundation benefit concerts have included headliners such as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Dixie Chicks, Sheryl Crow, Hugh Jackman, Jay Leno, Jim Gaffigan, and more.
