The January 2013 inaugural ceremonies for President Barack Obama featured such A–list talent as Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys. But it was the classically trained mezzo-soprano Alicia Olatuja – in her minute–long solo during the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s performance of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” – that made countless members of the media and the viewing public sit up and take notice. On ABC-TV’s “The View,” Elizabeth Hasselbeck called Alicia’s voice “breathtaking” while the NY Daily News declared: “Brooklyn gave birth to a new musical star at Monday’s inauguration.” A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, Alicia Olatuja has worked with such great artists as Christian McBride, Chaka Khan, and Bebe Winans. Witness the rise of a true star tonight on our stage!
