Today from our Millennium Stage archives: performances from bluegrass revival trio Nickel Creek; an open "How to Sing with Others" masterclass from Aoife O'Donovan, Sarah Jarosz, and Chris Thile; and four-time Grammy®-winning banjo player Earl Scruggs.
Presented as part of a weeklong celebration of 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. Today's performances reflect how Millennium Stage offer us a platform to celebrate American musical traditions and their evolution.
