Hudson Hall Gala - Hudson Hall

SAVE-THE-DATE! Saturday, June 12, 2027

WHAT A NIGHT!

A heartfelt thank you to our generous community who made the 2026 Hudson Hall Gala a wonderful success. Your generosity raised over $200,000 to sustain ambitious artistic work, free and affordable arts education, and Hudson Hall’s role as a welcoming gathering place at the heart of our community.

It was a joy to bear witness to the profound impact made by our honorees, Elena Mosley, co-founder of Operation Unite NY, and Steven Johnson & Walter Sudol, Second Ward Foundation. Their abundant generosity, collaborative energy, and dedication to the arts inspires us all.

We were delighted to share with you a preview of the 2026–2027 season through spectacular performances by choreographer-in-residence Bobbi Jene Smith, jazz duo Vuyo Sotashe and Chris Pattishall, and countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen with early music band Ruckus, who performed an excerpt from the next opera in our Handel on the Hudson series, Deidamia.

It was great fun to welcome you with Cindy Sherman’s astonishing sculptural set for Stephen Petronio’s dance Island of Misfit Toys (2003) — we hope you enjoy the photos from the evening, please feel free to download, share, and tag #HudsonHallNY !
