Washington, D.C.—Georgetown University Medical Center hosts Music for the Mind, a special evening at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, featuring Wayne Brady Sings the Sammys. By purchasing special tickets designated as Music for the Mind on March 31st, you’ll be supporting young investigators’ research in neuroscience at Georgetown.
The Music for the Mind evening begins at 6:00 p.m. with a reception followed by the performance at 8:00 p.m. Entertainer Wayne Brady brings together songs of the past and present with an imaginative and comic look back at Rat Pack member Sammy Davis Jr. and the soulful artistry of singer Sam Cooke. Musically paired with The National Symphony Orchestra Pops, guided by Principal Conductor Steven Reineke, the night will be one of shared memories with a new twist. Tickets are available through The Music for the Mind website, or by contacting Elena Jeannotte, 202-687-3866.
