Sally Field, Linda Ronstadt and 'Sesame Street' are set to receive the Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime achievements in the arts.
Also in this year’s class are conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and long-running children’s TV show “Sesame Street.”
The Kennedy Center’s president, Deborah Rutter, said in an interview earlier this year that “they are always invited.” “Sesame Street” debuted in 1969 and remains a force in children’s educational television. The show now airs new episodes on HBO, and they are rebroadcast months later on the show’s original home, PBS. The co-founders of “Sesame Street,” Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, will accept the award on behalf of the show.
Tilson Thomas, who has served as music director of the San Francisco Symphony for the past 24 years, has become particularly renowned for his interpretations of the entire works of Gustav Mahler.
