The Carolina Chocolate Drops THURSDAY, JANUARY 26
NOWThe Music Hall’s Monthly Calendar Januar y 2012
Soul, Roots, SpiritualsENTERTAINMENT THAT CONNECTS WITH OUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY You see the Carolina Chocolate Drops (1/26) on the cover. We first saw them live two years ago and were wowed - an Americana Renaissance
band of the first order. We’ve asked Henry Louis Gates (1/17) here because of both The Music Hall’s and Ports-mouth’s connection to African-American history: from Frederick Douglass speak-ing twice on our site; to featuring one of the first African-American opera stars, Siseretta Jones, after she was
denied a role at the Met; to contemporary performers like the Screaming Eagle of Soul, Charles Bradley and His Extraordi-naires (2/3), (introduced to us by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings!). Soweto Gospel Choir (2/13) will perform a post-concert song over the African Burying Ground. And to round out all that great programming, the Temptations (pictured) will take the stage on 2/24.
"revisiting string-band and jug-band music of the '20s and '30s...dirt-floor
dance electricity!" – ROLLING STONE
Superstars on Screen! January is already shaping up to be “Superstars on Screen” at The Music Hall. The month is bookended by Sondheim’s Company (1/14) featuring all manner of stars from Neil Patrick Harris to Patti Lupone, Ste-phen Colbert to Christina Hendricks. The other bookend? Three of the biggest names in opera come together for a once in a lifetime perfor-mance: Anna Netrebko, Erwin Schrott and Jonas Kaufman in 3 Superstars in Berlin (1/28).
