The Kennedy Center has announced the five winners of its 43rd annual Kennedy Center Honors: actress, dancer and choreographer Debbie Allen, folk singer and activist Joan Baez, country superstar Garth Brooks, violinist Midori, and the television actor Dick Van Dyke.

This year’s event was postponed from December to May, and CBS will broadcast it on June 6.

The annual awards show typically draws a star-studded crowd to the performing arts center for a fancy dinner and evening of performances, speeches, and hobnobbing with dignitaries, politicians and Washington socialites. Due to the pandemic, this year’s Honors will look quite different. The Kennedy Center will host performances on its campus with limited, socially distanced audiences the week of May 17, as well as an in-person medallion ceremony for the honorees and a small audience.

The venue’s release says additional events for the Honors may be added “as COVID-19 safety protocols evolve over the upcoming months.” The Kennedy Center is one of a handful of local venues participating in a pilot program that permits it to host live performances for small audiences. The pilot is currently suspended amid a regional spike in coronavirus cases.

“They say necessity is the mother of all invention. The unusual circumstances inspired and opened up new ways for us to present a deeper experience, and hopefully understanding, of the art and lifetime work of our Honorees,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter in a release.

An advisory committee of Kennedy Center leaders and past award recipients selected winners who represent a diverse variety of musical genres and media. 2019’s winners included Sally Field, Sesame Street, and Earth, Wind, and Fire; the year before that, Reba McEntire, Cher, and the team behind Hamilton were honored.

“It has been my life’s joy to make art. It’s also been my life’s joy to make, as the late Congressman John Lewis called it, ‘good trouble.’ What luck to have been born with the ability to do both,” said Baez in a statement.

“Since the creation of the Kennedy Center Honors, just over 200 have been honored with equal care,” said Van Dyke in his own statement. “Being included in that small, illustrious group, is the thrill of my life.”

Tickets for the events — both in person and virtual — will go on sale February 1.
