Sufjan Stevens to Perform Free at the Kennedy Center
As he tends to do, The Upstate Life has broken news of another show coming to the area. Orchestral indie darling Sufjan Stevens will be featured in a show celebrating the tradition of free music at the Kennedy Center. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Millenium Stage, Stevens and the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra will join Naval jazz ensemble The Commodores, Alvin Ailey's American Dance Theater and the National Symphany Orchestra for the event on Febraury 5, with each act performing on a different stage best suited for their performance. We've all got some time to mull this over, as ticket information won't be posted until January.

DCist...pitchfork broke the news first :)
Give them credit instead.
I actually got the info from some dude who posted it over at the 9:30 Forum (it's linked in my post) who broke the news before Pitchfork did - 96 minutes earlier to be exact!
Isn't Sufjan Stevens some kind of religious fundamentalist weirdo? I've heard that.
He's Christian and sometimes includes spiritual themes in his music. I don't think that makes him a fundamentalist or a weirdo, but you may well disagree.
Jason,
Maybe you're thinking of the artist formally known as Cat Stevens?
