From Michelle Obama’s remarks today: “There’s also more to the dinner than just the food, even though that’s going to be exciting. Dinners like these also need great entertainment. So who do we have tonight? We’ve got someone you guys probably know a lot about: Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is going to sing tonight — yay! But also have A.R. Rahman. He’s also an Oscar winner and he helped create some of the music for the film “Slumdog Millionaire.” I don’t know if you guys got to see that movie — incredible movie. We’re also going to have Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, who’s a Chicago hometown guy and we’re pleased to have him. And we’re also going to have the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Marvin Hamlisch, who’s one of the greatest composers in this country.” Mistakenly left off the list was the Bay Area Empire Bhangra dance group.
Obamas' White House State Dinner Entertainment: Jennifer Hudson, AR Rahman, Kurt Elling, Marvin Hamlisch, Bay Area Empire Bhangra
