Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Natural Woman

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Natural Woman at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

Sheléa brings her vocal power and piano mastery to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at 8:00 PM, celebrating the music of Aretha Franklin. The GRAMMY®-nominated artist performs classic hits including Chain of Fools, Say A Little Prayer, Respect and Natural Woman with the full orchestra behind her, giving soul and R&B their symphonic moment.

For listeners who grew up with Franklin's voice or discovered it later, this evening offers a chance to hear those songs in a new setting. Sheléa's one-of-a-kind vocal approach and her skill at the piano add a personal stamp to the repertoire, while the orchestral arrangements bring depth and texture to music built on groove and emotion. Reconnect with the tenderness, conviction and rhythmic character that make this repertoire so enduring.

Conductor Ingrid Martin leads the Detroit Symphony Orchestra through the program, shaping the interplay between Sheléa's voice, her piano, and the ensemble. The combination of a powerhouse vocalist, a skilled conductor, and a full orchestra gives you a specific reason to leave home: a tribute where a featured singer and pianist meets the scale of a symphony orchestra. Take someone who loves soul, R&B, or the thrill of a great voice in full command.

Make an evening of the soul standards you love and the musicians bringing them to the stage. Book your tickets for Sheléa at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall and make Saturday night about the performance.
