Carnegie Hall 120th Anniversary Celebration and After-Party

Julie Skarratt

James Taylor hosted a star-studded concert at Carnegie Hall this week to celebrate the New York landmark's 120th anniversary; he—along with Bette Midler, Dianne Reeves, Steve Martin, Barbara Cook, Kevin Pollak, and Sting—performed a diverse show dedicated to the history of Carnegie Hall. Even Taylor's old pal Bill Clinton showed up near the end of the concert, to thank the fully packed audience and emphasize the importance of music education in public schools. Clinton came, he said, because in 20 years of friendship, this was the first time Taylor had asked a favor of him. The musicians, along with many Carnegie Hall supporters and well-wishers including Tory Burch, Erin Fetherston, and Regina Spektor, followed up the show with an elegant dinner at MoMA.
