The Grammy-winning singer is lending her voice to a fundraiser in support of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s latest project.
Aguilera will perform at the Sept. 25 grand opening celebration of the museum’s Lynda and Stewart Resnick Pavilion, described by LACMA as “the largest purpose-built, naturally lit, open-plan museum space in the world.”
The Resnick Pavilion will be a single-story, glass and stone-enclosed structure sited north of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM), which opened in February 2008 and was the keystone of Phase I of the Transformation.
