Alison & Bobby McFerrin at Carnegie Hall!

[fogcitygal]

Carnegie Hall's 2007-08 Season has just been announced and I was delighted to find the following on it:

"Bobby McFerrin, whom Gillinson called a "a generous musician and educator," will host seven Perspectives events, conducting and performing with artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Alison Krauss, Chick Corea, and Jack DeJohnette. A highlight will be a performance with Voicestra, his 12-member vocal ensemble, which draws on everything from rhythm-and-blues to opera to world music traditions."

No specific dates were listed with the announcment.

Houseghost, I think we have a pattern starting here (see my reply to you under General Discussion "Alison's new album")...

YAYA!!!!!! go Alison! Carnegie Hall is one of the most prestigious places to perform, and AK's already been there once (Grand Ole Opry 80th anni) so that is a huge honor! YOU GO GIRL!

I think that beyond appearing at Carnegie Hall again, being invited to share the stage with Bobby McFerrin is the real honor!

It is clear that their one duet at Telluride left them both wanting more collaboration.

This brings me back to a conversation we were having a couple of weeks ago (see the General Discussion thread referred to above) about how Alison appears to be spreading her wings -- away from AKUS -- while still maintaining her commitment to the band.

Lucky for all of us!
