AN EVENING WITH JUDY COLLINS
OCTOBER 3, 2021
7:30PM

Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. First of all, in the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. As a result, five decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work. Likewise, the award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards as well as her own poetically poignant original compositions.

Judy is as creatively vigorous as ever, writing, touring worldwide, and nurturing fresh talent. She is a modern-day Renaissance woman who is also an accomplished painter, filmmaker, record label head, musical mentor, and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart.
