In Performance at the White House

In Performance at the White House is a series of concerts produced by WETA (a non-commercial TV channel located in Washington DC) since 1978 and spans every administration since President Carter’s. Created to showcase the rich fabric of American culture in the exclusive setting of the nation’s most famous home.

It all started with a piano recital by the legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz and since that first concert the series has celebrated more or less every genre of American musical performance. Over the last 36 years concerts have honoured the genius of musical legends such as Sir Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Celebrated the rich roots of America’s Country music, Motown and the Blues, music from the Civil Rights Movement, Hispanic musical heritage and the unique spirit of Broadway and the American musical.

Women of Soul

In this show you can watch Aretha Franklin, Melissa Etheridge, Patti LaBelle, Jill Scott, Janelle Monáe, Tessanne Chin and Ariana Grande bring blues, jazz, soul, R&B and Rock and Roll to the White House. This hour long concert is a wonderful celebration of American female artists whose music has made a profound impact on America’s musical culture. President Obama said in his introductory speech, “Soul music is about reaching and touching people on a human level…..and telling some truth. And tonight we’re in for a healthy dose of truth from some of the finest voices there are.”
