Celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with pianist Lara Downes and folk legend Judy Collins in an inspiring evening of music and conversation, exploring the diverse voices and stories that shape our nation.

Judy, with Lara on piano, will perform beloved hits. Lara will also preview “Life” by composer Valerie Coleman, co-commissioned by RCC to honor The Leila Gordon Theatre’s renaming, ahead of its July 1, 2026 premiere at Lincoln Center.

“This Land” is not just a concert. Through their performances and dialogue, these artists will create an evening of celebration and reflection, fostering empathy and connection as we recognize our shared history.
