Alongside Miranda’s much-anticipated acceptance of The Town Hall Vanguard Award, the evening will also include a tribute to Tom Wirtshafter, Town Hall’s Board President Emeritus, who will receive the Town Hall Friend of the Arts Award in recognition of his dedication to the arts.

All proceeds from this benefit concert will contribute to The Town Hall’s mission of amplifying the voices that will define the next century of cultural conversations. A historic venue since 1921, The Town Hall remains committed to merging artistic excellence with community impact, and this remarkable evening is sure to capture that enduring spirit.
