Singer/songwriter Stevie Wonder, the awardee of the second Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, will premiere a special musical work he has written on commission for the Library of Congress on Monday, Feb. 23. The work promises to be yet another branch on the tree of creativity that has made the artist beloved over five decades.
"Stevie Wonder has been very engaged, very excited about this work," said Susan H. Vita, chief of the Library of Congress Music Division which commissioned the piece in conjunction with the awarding of the prize.
That concert, in celebration of African American History Month, will be taped by WETA in Washington, D.C., as part of the In Performance at the White House series, and will air on PBS stations nationwide on Thursday Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. E.T. (check local listings) as "Stevie Wonder In Performance at the White House: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize."
