Jazzmeia Horn and Olivia Harris
Soprano Olivia Harris and alto Jazzmeia Horn, who attend Dallas' Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, are among the 30 high school students across the U.S. chosen to sing in the 2009 Grammy Jazz Choir.
Their selection launches them into the spotlight surrounding the 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards, and provides them with unparalleled opportunities to perform in front of some of music's biggest names. Since 1993, the GRAMMY Foundation has provided students with this extraordinary musical experience. The students, representing 23 cities and 13 states, will travel to Los Angeles for a weeklong musical adventure under the direction of Justin DiCioccio of the Manhattan School of Music and Dr. Ron McCurdy of the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music.
The ensembles will perform at various Grammy week events including public performances at Spaghettini's Italian Grill & Jazz Club on Feb. 2 and the Vic on Feb. 4. For the first time ever, the ensembles will perform at the MusiCares Person of the Year tribute on Feb. 6, which this year will honor Neil Diamond. As a grand finale, they will attend the 51st Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 8 as guests of The Recording Academy and will perform at the Grammy Celebration After Party.
