Grammy Award winners Hilary Hahn, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, John Mellencamp, Keb’ Mo’ and Stevie Wonder will perform as part of “A Celebration of Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Camps,” at New York’s Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, on October 21. Tony Award winner James Naughton will direct the benefit event, which will also include appearances from Bill Cosby and Renee Zellweger.


The Hole in the Wall Camps serve children with serious medical conditions. The camps are fully inclusive with accessible tree houses, adaptive equestrian programs, high and low ropes courses and all the traditional “camp” activities like swimming, boating, arts and crafts and campfires. The October 21 event will also feature performances from some of the campers themselves.


Show-only tickets begin at $50 and can be purchased by calling 212-721-6500. Benefit tickets including an after party can be purchased by calling 212-627-0678.
