SUMMARY:Judy Collins in conversation with André Bernard
DESCRIPTION:In its third year\, In Conversation brings together seasoned interviewer André Bernard\, former Vice President of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, with innovative thinkers and influential voices whose contributions shape our culture today. Crossing the fields of politics\, journalism\, social science\, and the arts\, these conversations will explore fresh perspectives that spark curiosity and ignite new ways of thinking about the world.   \n\nJudy Collins\nSinger-songwriter and author of\nSometimes It’s Heaven: Poems of Love\, Loss\, and Redemption\nThursday\, August 21\, 5:00 pm  \n\nA true American icon\, Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century.  \nNow in her eighties\, Collins 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. In 2025\, Judy published Sometimes It’s Heaven: Poems of Love\, Loss\, and Redemption  (Andrews McMeel Publishing\, 2025) \, a compilation of poetry that captures the ethereal and inspiring nature of her artistry in an all-new way. Biographical and relatable\, Sometimes It’s Heaven is a must-read for fans of poetry and fans of Collins\, old and new.  \nJudy Collins is an iconic American singer-songwriter and musician\, known for her clear\, folk-infused voice and powerful interpretations of traditional and contemporary songs. Born in Seattle\, Washington\, Collins first gained national attention in the 1960s with her folk music career\, recording hits like “Both Sides Now” and “Send in the Clowns\,” which became timeless classics. Over the years\, she has released over 50 albums\, earning Grammy nominations and acclaim for her work as a performer and composer. Collins is also recognized for her activism\, particularly in advocating for mental health awareness and environmental causes. Throughout her career\, she has influenced generations of artists with her artistic integrity and remarkable vocal range.  \nPhoto: Shervin Lainez\n\nTICKETS ON SALE: \nBook Here!\n  \nGeneral Admission:\n$27 – Mount Members\n$32 – Non-Members \n*New* Rain or Shine Ticket:\n$37 – Mount Members\n$42 – Non-Members \nIndividual Rain or Shine Tickets guarantee admission to a program regardless of weather conditions.
