An American Playlist Evening of Classical Works and Popular Song @ The Kennedy Center

This is the last night of the three night free concert series put on by the Kennedy Center in an effort to promote teaching the arts in school. Harolyn Blackwell sang opera, Branford Marsalis played Sax, we heard a youth chorus, and Smokey Robinson and John Mayer performed a couple of songs each. I was definitely impressed by Mayer who gives a great live performance, and is extremely charismatic and funny on stage. The National Symphony Orchestra played behind all the performers by a couple of different conductors.
