Sipe Center is excited to bring to stage Portrait of a Queen this week on Friday, March 24 at 7:30 p.m.
Aretha Franklin taught us how to “Think” and demand “Respect…” all while ridin’ on the “Freeway of Love!” In Portrait of a Queen, CeCe Teneal honors the legacy of the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin with personalized interpretations of both popular and lesser-known songs from this 18-Grammy-Award-winning icon’s 50-year career, including “Chain of Fools,” “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Rock Steady,” and “Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do).” An award-winning songstress in her own right, Ms. Teneal has been nominated for four Independent Music Awards and claimed the title for 2011 Best Gospel Song (“I Heard You Prayin’”) and 2011 Best R&B Album (Train from Osteen), as well as 2018 Best Soul/Funk/Fusion Song (“Danger”).
Tickets are $30. Tickets are still available for purchase online at sipecenter.com, over the phone, or in-person at the Sipe Center Box Office. The Box Office is open for in-person sales Thursday through Sunday, from 3:00-8:00 p.m. or by calling (540) 908-4208.
