The diva and only Queen of Soul Aretha Franlkin will perform FOR FREE this Monday January 19, at 6:00 PM at the Kennedy Center. Tickets will be given 1 (one) per person, from 4:00 PM. If you really want to get in, I suggest you go there veeery early like noon or something.
Remember, this show is free and it's at the Concert Hall of the Kennedy Center.
This show is presented honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and also there will be performing Hip Hop Violin duo Nuttin' but Stringz (the way-too-sexy twin brothers from NYC) and the DC based Let Freedom Ring Choir. Wow!
- Nuttin' But Stringz, also known as N.B.S., consists of brothers Damien and Tourie Escobar who both play violin. The young musicians from Jamaica, Queens play a blend of classical music, hip-hop,[1] jazz and R&B.
The Let Freedom Ring Celebration Choir was organized especially for the 2006 King celebration. The choir is made up predominately of Georgetown University students, and also includes members of the Metropolitan Music Ministry of the Metropolitan Baptist Church and the Capitol Hill Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Reverend Nolan Williams, Jr., Music Director for this year’s Let Freedom Ring Celebration, is the Chief Music Editor of the critically acclaimed publication, The African American Heritage Hymnal (GIA Publications, 2001), and Minister of Music for the Metropolitan Baptist Church.
Aretha Franklin will also sing next day at President Obama's Swearing Ceremony, in the east front of the Capitol building.
