Folk.

Folk legend Judy Collins brought magic to New York City’s Town Hall this past February, returning to the iconic venue to perform her landmark 1967 album Wildflowers in a breathtaking live concert, now available on CD+DVD and LP+DVD. At 84, Collins’ voice remains an ethereal force, as ageless as the songs she has sung across her six-decade career. Supported by the Harlem Chamber Players under the direction of the celebrated conductor Tania Leon, Collins filled Town Hall with a lush performance that bridged folk, classical, and the quiet intensity of her vocal storytelling.

In Concert: Wildflowers At The Town Hall NYC captures Collins at her very best, revisiting the songs that cemented her place in American folk music. From the haunting “Since You Asked” to the sweeping beauty of “Sky Fell” and “Albatross,” Collins crafts a rich narrative of her original works, blending them with unforgettable renditions of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” and Leonard Cohen’s “Sisters of Mercy” and “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye.” Each performance resonates with an honesty and warmth that could only come from a voice honed by years of experience and reflection.

In addition to her Wildflowers classics, Collins performed treasures like “Spellbound” from her Grammy-nominated 2022 album of the same name and the beloved “Mountain Girl,” a poignant piece from her life story. And when she reached Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns,” the Grammy-winning song that has become a hallmark of her career, the room felt suspended in time, a testament to her power as an interpreter of deeply human stories.

Wildflowers remains Collins’ highest-charting album, reaching No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and achieving Gold certification.. This Town Hall performance offers a unique opportunity for fans to experience its timeless songs in an intimate, beautifully orchestrated setting, recorded in high-definition audio and video for those unable to be there in person.

For those who cherish her music, Wildflowers At The Town Hall NYC is a powerful reminder of the timeless voice and artistry of Judy Collins. Decades after her debut, Judy Collins continues to invite audiences to rediscover her songs, blending nostalgia with a remarkable relevance. This performance is not just a look back; it’s a celebration of her unbroken connection to fans, of a voice that still soars, and of an artist who remains as vital today as ever.
