The Kimmel Center’s Verizon Hall to be renamed for Philadelphia legend Marian Anderson

An “incredibly generous" gift from Leslie Anne Miller and Richard B. Worley is going toward renaming the home of the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Singer Marian Anderson performs on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on April 9, 1939, after she had been refused permission to perform in Washington's Constitution Hall by the hall's owners, the Daughters of the American Revolution.
