NEW YORK — Betty Davis — the groundbreaking funk diva who influenced a generation of genre-defying performers such as Joi, Erykah Badu and Janelle Monae — is among the list of Black female singers to be celebrated this weekend during a free marathon concert event.
The “Wall to Wall Women of Soul” festival, set to take place in the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Symphony Space (2537 Broadway, at 95th Street) on Saturday, will run from 3-11 p.m. and feature performances by new and notable artists paying homage to the trailblazers who came before them.
Both in-person and livestream tickets are free of charge.
