New York Public Radio hosts its annual Gala on Nov. 19 honoring its work and the generosity of those who support it. This year’s event will be held at The Glasshouse and includes cocktail hour, seated dinner, and an amplified after-party for young New Yorkers, all to celebrate a century of public service journalism and usher WNYC into its next 100 years.
Seth Meyers — comedian, writer, and host of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" — will host the evening, with musical performances by Grammy and two-time Tony Award nominee Shoshana Bean (currently starring in Broadway’s Hell’s Kitchen), acclaimed jazz pianist and composer Aaron Diehl, and the award-winning Young People’s Chorus of New York City, led by Francisco J. Nunez. Guests will hear remarks from President and CEO LaFontaine E. Oliver and NYPR Board of Trustees Chair Timothy Wilkins. Attendees will be able to mingle with WNYC and WQXR hosts, including Brian Lehrer (The Brian Lehrer Show), Alison Stewart (All of It), Latif Nasser (Radiolab), Brooke Gladstone and Micah Loewinger (On the Media), John Schaefer (New Sounds), and Annie Bergen, Elliott Forrest, Terrance McKnight, and Paul Cavalconte (WQXR), among others.
