GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. – James Taylor is planning a benefit concert in Massachusetts to aid earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.

Proceeds from the concert scheduled for Friday at The Mahaiwe (muh-HAY'-wee) Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington will go to Partners in Health. The Boston-based group brings modern medical care to poor nations and has been working in Haiti for more than 20 years.

Singer-songwriter Taylor says in a statement that he and his wife, Kim, will match proceeds from sales of tickets. Prices range from $100 to $1,000.

Taylor lives in nearby Lenox. He will be joined onstage by his wife, singers Kate Markowitz and Arnold McCuller, and Boston Symphony Orchestra cellist Owen Young.
