Discover the 2024 Kennedy Center Honors recipients, including Francis Ford Coppola, Grateful Dead, Bonnie Raitt, Arturo Sandoval, and the iconic Apollo Theater. Tune in on Dec. 23 for the celebration.
Bollywood Fever: The recipients of this year’s Kennedy Center Honors have been announced.
Honorees include Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola, legendary rock band the Grateful Dead (Mickey Hart, Billy Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Bobby Weir), Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt, jazz musician Arturo Sandoval, and the Apollo Theater. These individuals and institutions will be celebrated for their lifetime artistic achievements at the annual ceremony in Washington, D.C., in December. The Apollo Theater will receive a special honor as an iconic American institution.
This year’s Kennedy Center Honors will be broadcast on Dec. 23 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
Coppola, who recently premiered his latest film, “Megalopolis,” at the Cannes Film Festival, expressed his gratitude: “I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to collaborate with great artists and wonderful people throughout my career, and I have never stopped learning. There is no greater honor than to be included along with those who inspired me, who I looked up to, and who gave me encouragement when times were dim. I am grateful to the Kennedy Center, my beloved colleagues, to those who equate beauty and truth, and to all the children of the world.”
The Grateful Dead, currently performing a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, shared their thoughts: “The Grateful Dead has always been about community, creativity, and exploration in music and presentation. We’ve always felt that the music we make embodies and imparts something beyond the notes and phrases being played—and that is something we are privileged to share with all who are drawn to what we do—so it also must be said that our music belongs as much to our fans, the Dead Heads, as it does to us. This honor, then, is as much theirs as ours.”
