Aretha Franklin to perform with Condoleezza Rice
July 2nd, 2010 - 4:44 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 2 (ANI): ‘Queen of Soul’ Aretha Franklin and former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice will be sharing the stage for a duet performance in Philadelphia next month.
The pair will perform songs such as ‘Natural Woman’ and ‘Say a Little Prayer’ for a fundraising event for inner city children on 27 July at the Mann Centre for the Performing Arts.
Franklin and Rice would be the guests of the Philadelphia Orchestra and conductor Rossen Milanov.
Rice would play with the orchestra for Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor and then join Franklin to perform classic soul anthems and a selection of arias.
“Ms Rice is a consummate classical pianist and since I sing the arias, I thought we could do something,” The Guardian quoted Franklin as saying.
“A bipartisan effort for our favourite charities,” she added. (ANI)
