Doors open at 3:00 PM for a special Pre-Concert Conversation with the STREET CORNER RENAISSANCE QUINTET led by Sukari Reid-Glenn, Grand Visions Music Ed. Manager.
With infectious energy, humor and delightful harmony, Street Corner Renaissance sings a cappella versions of doo-wop and R&B music from days gone by. The quintet is led by NAACP award-winner Maurice Kitchen and joined recently by Bob Henley, touring artist with the legendary Smokey Robinson.
The quintet had the honor of performing with some of the biggest names in music, including Chuck Berry, Kool & the Gang and their childhood idols the Temptations. They even participated in NBC’s The Sing Off in 2014 and were featured on the PBS special, DooWop Generations.
