Norah Jones - Millennium Stage (January 25, 2002)

Today from our Millennium Stage archives: This week, we celebrate the legacy of James A. Johnson, former Kennedy Center chairman who passed over the weekend. His leadership, generosity, and vision transformed the Kennedy Center with the creation of Millennium Stage, a daily, free performances series that celebrated artistic styles across genres, cultures, and communities making the institution wildly more accepting and representative of art and people in our society. He was also passionate about resourcing and supporting young artists.

This performance with Norah Jones was one of the earliest examples of what can happen when you create a platform for young artists in the process of developing their career.
