"Stevie fans, clear your calendars and maybe start doing some light vocal warmups in the shower. On November 8, Symphony Space is throwing the doors open for "Wall to Wall Stevie Wonder," a full-day, absolutely-free marathon celebrating one of the most joyful, genre-hopping geniuses in American music. It runs 2pm to 10pm at Symphony Space's Peter Jay Sharp Theater on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and you can swing through for a set or park yourself there like it's your own personal Soul Train soundstage."
"Social justice Stevie takes the mic for round two, spotlighting the activist who turned funk into protest fuel. Rap artist JSWISS joins DJ Vicky Casis, bassist Kyle Miles and vocalist Amma Whatt; vocalist Claudia Acuña teams up with Natu Camara; Broadway talent Jared Wayne Gladly steps in; and Hybrid Movement Company adds contortion and acrobatics. Then, DJ Spinna, practically synonymous with Wonder fandom, drops a set to launch Stevie Reimagined."
Symphony Space presents Wall to Wall Stevie Wonder, a free daylong celebration on November 8 from 2pm to 10pm at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The program unfolds in four chapters that trace gospel-rooted spirituals and love ballads, socially conscious protest music, reimagined interpretations with poetry and global rhythms, and collaborative performances across genres. Featured performers include Songs Of Solomon Inspirational Ensemble, Jamel Gaines Creative Outlet with Marcelle Davies-Lashley, Natu Camara, JSWISS, Claudia Acuña, Jared Wayne Gladly, JRose, Kim Hill, DJ Vicky Casis and DJ Spinna.
