Judy Collins & Friends: 85 Years of Music & Protest

Celebrate the legendary Judy Collins’ 85th Birthday with a star-studded concert directed by Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Russ Titelman. Judy Collins will be joined onstage by her peers and some of the young talents she inspired and helped nurture.

Judy Collins first performed at The Town Hall in 1964 in a program that resulted in her first live recording Judy Collins in Concert (1964). Over the past six decades Judy Collins has performed at The Town Hall several times, both in her own concerts and at activist events including the civil rights and anti-war programs to which she has dedicated much of her life.

Both Town Hall Friends of the Arts Awardees, Collins and Titelman will take the opportunity of Collins’s birthday to celebrate the songwriting and activism that is at the core of Collins’ artistic legacy. Held on International Women’s Day, Judy Collin’s birthday celebration will be a look back at her six decades of music and protest, and a look forward to the generations she has led and inspired.
