A sensational celebration of a legendary icon!

Celebrate the life and music of one of history’s greatest voices!

Impressively staged at a unique, purpose-built concert site at Joondalup’s Edith Cowan University forecourt, experience an unforgettable night of music and memories honouring the legacy of global superstar, Aretha Franklin.

Narrated and directed by the multi-talented Jada Alberts, ARETHA features outstanding vocalists Emma Donovan, Karen Lee Andrews, Thandi Phoenix, Thndo and Mahalia Barnes, with music direction by Joe Accaria and a nine-piece band.

Groove along to ‘Respect’, ‘I Say a Little Prayer’, ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’, ‘Think’ and more hits from the woman who broke down barriers and paved the way for generations to come.
