Katherine Farley

Over the last quarter century Farley has grown into a far-reaching businesswoman and philanthropist whose work, echoing Chairman Randel's phrase, comprehends those aspects of human culture that make life worth living. Chair of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts since 2010, and its Redevelopment Project since 2006, she has been instrumental in overseeing the $1.2 billion reconfiguration of the entire complex, which comprises ten civic icons, including the Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera, and the Juilliard School.
