FLOTUS is bringing some vocal powerhouses into the White House for a special concert. The Women of Soul: In Performance at the White House will feature performances by Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Janelle Monáe, Ariana Grande, Melissa Etheridge, Jill Scott and Tessanne Chin, according to Billboard. The live performance will be streamed Thursday via the White House’s website.

Following the live stream, the concert will be broadcasted on PBS stations next month, April 7. Women of Soul is designed to shed light on the “foremothers” of American music. In connection with the concert, a workshop will also be held for students to learn about the history of women in soul.
