The lineup for the 2019 Lincoln Center Out of Doors festival has been announced, and featuring among the performers taking the stage of the Damrosch Park Bandshell for the free series this summer are Rhiannon Giddens and Yola.

Rhiannon Giddens will take part in NPR Music’s Turning the Tables Live: The Motherlode on Wednesday, July 31. The Motherlode, led by musical director Terri Lyne Carrington, marks the third season for the Turning the Tables partnership between NPR Music and Lincoln Center and will explore the work of female artists who originated and shaped recorded music from its earliest days to the 1960s, in jazz, blues, gospel, classical, and Latinx music. Also performing for the evening are Xiomara Laugart, Ledisi, Amina Claudine Myers, Cleo Reed, Valerie Simpson, Charenée Wade, and Lizz Wright.

Yola will help close out the Lincoln Center Out of Doors season in the first of two nights in The Roots of American Music Weekend: Americanafest NYC, Saturday and Sunday, August 10 and 11. She will perform songs from her debut album, Walk Through Fire, in the Damrosch Park Bandshell that Saturday, August 10, before singer-songwriter Patty Griffin takes the stage. (The show comes just after Yola will have joined another label mate, Lake Street Dive, on tour.)

    The Library of Congress has acquired the collection of manuscripts, instruments, costumes, video and audio recordings, and more from Kronos Quartet and its non-profit organization, Kronos Performing Arts Association. “It’s gratifying to know that Kronos’ legacy will be preserved in perpetuity alongside the manuscripts and other treasures of so many other influential musicians from the US and around the world," said KPAA Executive Director Janet Cowperthwaite. "We are perhaps even more excited to reflect upon all the musicians and scholars who will have access to these materials in years to come, informing their own work and carrying Kronos’ inspiration and influence into the future.” The Library also appointed Kronos founder, artistic director, and violinist David Harrington as the Kluge Chair in Modern Culture and inducted Kronos’ 1992 album Pieces of Africa into the National Recording Registry.
