Celebrating the 100th Birthday of Sarah Vaughan
Celebrate with us under the dazzling chandelier at our Sarah Vaughan Concert Hall as we recognize Sassy’s iconic contributions to jazz. At the height of the evening, a special concert featuring GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Patti Labelle & Special Guest will get the party started….We will also use the evening to announce the plans for the opening of Newark Symphony Hall’s 30,000 sqft Arts + Education Lab and honor our long-standing supporter, Prudential Foundation, with the 2024 Anchor Arts Investor Award.
Join us for this magical evening, A Sarah A’Vaughan Garde Gala, to help raise funds for the activation and development of the Arts + Education Lab – all gala proceeds support our community engagement efforts and Arts & Education Lab.
