Presented by Theatre Within, in association with Music Without Borders, this the 39th Annual John Lennon Tribute charity concert. A New York City tradition since 1981, the Tribute joyously celebrates John Lennon’s life, music and timeless message of peace and love.

"With her beautiful songs, social activism, and support of charitable causes," says Yoko Ono, "Natalie Merchant has truly brightened our world and our hearts. Natalie's outspokenness on the environment, domestic violence, and special-needs children shines light on these vitally important issues. I am so happy that Theatre Within is honoring her with this year's John Lennon Real Love Award."
