The Walden School

Welcome to Walden's alumni website.

On October 3, Hilary Kole will be performing at New York's Birdland to benefit The Walden School for the second year in a row, joined this year by longtime Walden faculty member, alumnus and pianist Bill Stevens. We hope you can join us for this intimate evening of sultry jazz, mouth-watering hors d'oeuvres and scintillating conversation.

For more information, you can visit the event page.
