On June 7, 2022, friends, colleagues, and family members of WQXR host Bob Sherman gathered in the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space to celebrate his 90th birthday. The evening was filled with music, conversation, and tributes to this long time radio personality.

In this special program featuring renowned musicians including Joshua Bell and the Emerson String Quartet, you'll hear composer and former WQXR employee John Corigliano reminisce about the old days at the station, and longtime supporter of The Young Artists Showcase, Terry McGraw, speak about the impact of Bob’s work on young musicians.
