He will live forever through his style, grace and unforgettable music,” said Timolin Cole. “By enriching students with the opportunity to enhance their musical talents and abilities, our father’s legacy lives on.” The concert will also include performances by American Idol Top 24 Semi-Finalist Brett Loewenstern, 10-year-old violin prodigy Brianna Kahane, and DJ Fono of Roundabout Records. The event will be emceed by Tania Rogers of WPTV-TV, Channel 5. “In keeping with our father’s legacy, the concert will showcase generations of musical greatness,” said Casey Cole. “The Supremes’ legacy and impact is tremendous and we are so honored that Mary Wilson will contribute to the GENERATIONS concert. We are also delighted to feature young musical artists from our community, Brett and Brianna, who are shining examples of the importance of music education.” The concert’s VIP experience begins at 7:30 p.m. with BB King’s signature blue carpet entrance and leads into a private meet and greet with the entertainers.
