Established in 2012\, the award reflects Verrett’s legacy as a pioneering artist\, educator\, and advocate who championed the next generation of performers.\n\nThis year’s program will feature reflections from past award recipients\, including Lester Monts\, Ashley Lucas\, Daniel Washington\, and Robin Wilson\, along with special performances in tribute to her extraordinary life and work.\n\nThis free\, public event is open to all. Light refreshments will be served following the program.\n\nRSVP is requested.
