In short

Capathia Jenkins is a vocalist appearing with several American orchestras in programs celebrating iconic singers, including a dedicated tribute to Aretha Franklin. Listeners can expect a big, soulful voice delivering well-known songs in orchestral arrangements, aimed at audiences who enjoy popular and gospel-inflected vocal music alongside a symphony orchestra.

What to listen for

These programs center on songs that made Aretha Franklin a defining voice in American music: "Respect," "Think," "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," "Chain of Fools," and "Amazing Grace." Expect an orchestral arrangement that fills out the original soul and gospel textures with strings and brass, while the vocalist carries the emotional weight of the lyrics through big, sustained notes and gospel-style ad-libs. The "Icon" programs suggest a broader set exploring several singers who reshaped popular music, so listeners might also hear songs associated with other transformative vocalists of the 20th century, performed with the same full-voiced, audience-facing energy that these tribute concerts are built around.
