An Evening with Adrienne Warren: A Triple Threat Lights Up Kaufmann Concert Hall

This evening proved that the 92nd Street Y is New York’s most generous room for the human voice — a place where Broadway stars and concert virtuosos share the same hallowed stage, and where a single spotlight can still leave a sold-out house quietly wrecked with joy. Adrienne Warren reminded us why we gather: not merely to hear songs, but to be moved by them. So don’t wait for the next star-making night to find you. Explore the 2025–26 Tisch Music season, claim a seat in the Kaufmann Concert Hall, and let yourself be, once more, gloriously surprised.
