Lara Downes and Friends: A Celebration of Judy Collins (Cancelled)

NOTE: Out of respect for the health and safety of the UC Davis campus and community of arts lovers, the Mondavi Center is canceling all remaining public events for  the 2019–20 season.

Genre-fluid performing artist Lara Downes welcomes to the Mondavi Center the iconic musician, activist and innovator, Judy Collins. This special tribute celebrates Collins’ remarkable 50-year musical legacy with performances of her own original compositions and the songs she has made famous, “Both Sides Now,” “Suzanne,” “Send In the Clowns,” and many more.

Collins’ luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. The evening will include special guests Helga Davis and other leading female artists, including rising star alumnae of the illustrious Mondavi Center national Young Artists Competition.
