Rhiannon Giddens—who is currently touring the United States with Francesco Turrisi with songs from their new album, there is no Other—performed a different program this past summer as part of NPR Music's multi-artist Turning the Tables concert at Lincoln Center Out of Doors. The concert, which took place in Lincoln Center's Damrosch Park in July, kicked off the latest season of the NPR Music series and celebrated "eight women who invented American popular music": Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Maybelle Carter, Marion Anderson, Ella Fitzgerald, Mary Lou Williams, Celia Cruz, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. You can watch it below.

Giddens opens the concert, performing A.P. Carter's "You Are My Flower" with Courtney Marie Andrews, and returns at twenty-seven minutes in to perform the African-American spiritual "Deep River" with Lizz Wright, and then Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "Up Above My Head," a song Giddens performs on her solo debut album, Tomorrow Is My Turn. Also featured in the concert were Xiomara Laugart, Valerie Simpson, and Charenée Wade.

Now in Maine, Rhiannon Giddens's tour with Francesco Turrisi heads down the coast to Cambridge on Thursday and to New York City for two concerts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday and Saturday.
