Events Description
with the NAC Orchestra
This joyful, high-octane tribute to Aretha Franklin includes all your favourite songs from the Queen of Soul and the artists who inspired her.
A star of stage and screen, Capathia Jenkins and her powerhouse voice will bring Franklin’s biggest hits to life in Southam Hall.
“She was a singular talent,” Jenkins has said of Franklin. “It’s really an honour to stand on her shoulders and be able to do an evening-length tribute to her.”
Featuring Aretha Franklin’s biggest hits from her megawatt, 60-year career—including “Respect,” “Chain of Fools,” and “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”—the NAC Orchestra honours the Queen of Soul. Broadway star Capathia Jenkins and three-time Grammy-nominated singer Ryan Shaw take to the stage to celebrate one of the brightest icons in American music and the artists who inspired her.
