A Note from the Director

B

eloved by musicians and listeners alike, Aretha Franklin is recognized as the most successful female recording artist in history with 112 charted singles on Billboard, 18 GRAMMY® Awards, and over 75 million records sold.

Aretha continued to perform well into the later years of her illustrious life. During this time, musician, vocalist, and composer Damien Sneed toured along with Aretha, developing a strong mentee relationship with the soul legend. In this evening’s performance, Mr. Sneed pays homage to the monarch herself with fresh renditions of her most cherished hits with an accomplished cast of jazz, gospel, and soul musicians and vocalists. Damien’s tribute will be a tender and spiritual reflection upon the life of an iconic industry titan.

This performance will also feature four-time Grammy Award-winner and multiple Stellar and GMA Dove Award winner Karen Clark Sheard. Ms. Clark Sheard is renowned throughout the music industry for her signature, one-of-a-kind multi-octave vocal range and ability. Her musical style with the legendary Clark Sisters and as a solo artist has inspired a host of today’s brightest pop divas including Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott, and Faith Evans, among countless others.

Thank you and enjoy the show!
