2019 Berklee Signature Series

Singers Showcase: Aretha, Queen of Soul
Thursday, April 11,2019 at 8:00 p.m.

Berklee Performance Center

136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston

Joined by a full rhythm section, horns, background vocalists, dancers, and special
guests, Berklee's most outstanding lead vocalists and vocal groups will interpret Aretha Franklin's rich
canon. Produced by Maureen McMullan, this concert will feature the inspirational and powerful music
that became the soundtrack to the lives of so many, including "Respect,” “Think," “(You Make Me Feel
Like) A Natural Woman,” "Chain of Fools,” “"Rock Steady,” “| Say a Little Prayer,” “I Knew You Were Waiting
(For Me),” and many more. The undisputed Queen of Soul, Franklin was one of the few artists who not
only defined their times but transcended them. She became a monumental figure in social change as a
civil rights activist, icon for feminism, and symbol of hope who helped define the American experience.
Arecipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, she was also the first woman inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.
