DC’s Urban Renewal Project
“The opportunity to work with aspiring musicians and kids, who are just discovering music for the first time, really inspires me,” said Urban. “Creativity is at the heart of an innovative society – it brings people together and teaches children self-expression, creative confidence, and improvisational skills which are essential to their development. Being honored by The Academy, especially given the fact that they’re the ones that have given me the chance to be part of their work in this area, is humbling. It’s an incredible honor.”
The awards ceremony will take place at The Hamilton and will feature live performances by Urban, singer/songwriter John Popper of Blues Traveler and Grammy winner Wynonna Judd with special guests, as well as a special presentation by renowned television composer Jonathan Wolff. The Grammys on the Hill Awards are sponsored by SESAC. [Photo credit: Russ Harrington]
