Carnegie Neighborhood Concert: Alicia Olatuja
- Jan 16, 2014 · 6:00 PM
From the Schomburg Center-
Singer Alicia Olatuja electrified a crowd of a million people on the National Mall at the 2013 presidential inauguration. She sings with a strong, lustrous tone, and mixes elements of classical, jazz, gospel, and pop into her fluid vocalism. Her busy performance calendar includes collaborating with bassist and husband Michael Olatuja as the Olatuja Project; performing as a soloist with the Juilliard Jazz Ensemble; and providing back-up vocals for Chaka Khan, Somi, and Christian McBride.
Below is a Ms. Olatuja singing at the Obama Inauguration 2013:
Our Meetup Group
The turn out for Carnegie Neighborhood Concerts tend to be very high, so we will like to be at the Schomburg Center early to get the best seats with as little issues as possible. We will meetup at the Schomburg Center at 6pm. The group will collect left of the Schomburg's Information Desk (when you come in, make a left past the desk) and proceed into the theater for seating at 6:30pm. If you RSVP to attend, please try to arrive to the meetup as close to 6pm as possible to avoid issues getting inside the theater. We will be generally unreachable by phone or text after 6:45pm. Concert starts at 7pm.
As always, if you're running late, need further directions, or have any questions, please give Daniel a call/text to 774.275.3646.
