On Wednesday, December 17th, the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies announced the programme for the inauguration of Barack Obama in Washington D.C. on January 20th.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, said the day would be "an event of historic proportion."
"It is appropriate that the program will include some of the world's most gifted artists from a wide range of backgrounds and genres," she said.
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman, pianist Gabriela Montero and clarinetist Anthony McGill will perform a new work composed by John Williams, who also provided music for Obama's election night rally in Chicago 's Grant Park. The committee did not release a title for the work by Williams, who is best known for his film scores such as "Star Wars" and "Jaws."
The 51st Annual GRAMMY® Awards were announced 3 December 2008 by The Recording Academy®.
