On Oct. 29 in New York City, Josh Groban hosted his annual benefit event for his charity Find Your Light. The gala featured speeches from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Misty Copeland, and performances by Sara Bareilles, pop star JoJo and, of course, Josh. Old pals Josh and Sara also duetted on “Both Sides Now,” and one of the night’s honorees, opera star Renée Fleming, duetted with Josh on “Hallelujah.” The event raised $1.4 million for arts education for kids nationwide, a cause that’s very close to Josh’s heart.
