The Kennedy Center | Washington, DC

Join us for a gala concert with Tony Award® winner Idina Menzel and a lively after-party with cocktails and dancing at the Kennedy Center Gala as we celebrate Citizen Artist Forest Whitaker and Distinguished Philanthropists Patrick G. Ryan and Shirley W. Ryan, the recipients of the Award for the Human Spirit — leaders in the creative community who have helped bring great art to life.

Perhaps best known for the Broadway blockbusters Wicked and Rent and the Disney animated hit Frozen, acclaimed artist Idina Menzel shares her considerable talents as a vocalist and songwriter in a specially curated concert celebrating the recipients of the 2019 Kennedy Center Award for the Human Spirit. With a set list mixing fan favorites and original songs, you know it's going to be a wickedly good time.

The Kennedy Center is a community-oriented convener open for all to experience. Your purchase of an event package will increase student success, support access to and participation in the arts by all Americans, influence audience diversity and reach both live and digitally, and create investment in partnerships and networks across the country. Funds raised from The Kennedy Center Gala will ensure the future of these programs.
