On Sunday, September 14, we honored Dr. and Mrs. Wharton with a fitting tribute featuring five distinctive artists and ensembles. The program highlighted the breadth of the performing arts the Whartons' loved: classical, jazz, dance, and Broadway. This tribute showcased the scope of what Wharton Center presents each season in a once-in-a-lifetime event.
