Soul, Roots, Spirituals ENTERTAINMENT 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 Portsmouth’s connection to African-American history: from Frederick Douglass speaking 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 Extraordinaires (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.

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, Stephen Colbert to Christina Hendricks. The other bookend? Three of the biggest names in opera come together for a once in a lifetime performance: Anna Netrebko, Erwin Schrott and Jonas Kaufman in 3 Superstars in Berlin (1/28).
