The Gala Benefit Concert and Awards Ceremony brought together the best and brightest in business and entertainment in support of the non-profit Theater’s remarkable legacy and its current initiatives for emerging artists and community and educational programs in New York City and beyond. The concert was followed by the Apollo Supper Club - a festive tent party with buffet and dancing. Stevie Wonder and Celebrity DJ: D-Nice treated their late night party goers with an impromptu jam-fest that lasted for 30 minutes!

Stevie Wonder joins a distinguished roster of past inductees including Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Patti LaBelle, Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Little Richard, and Ella Fitzgerald. Each Apollo Legends Hall of Fame Inductee is honored with a plaque on the Apollo Walk of Fame, installed under the Theater’s iconic marquee.
