Perth Symphony Orchestra Confirms Cast For Stevie Wonder & Aretha Franklin Tribute

Celebrating a soul icon and child prodigy-turned-superstar, Perth Symphony Orchestra will take over Astor Theatre next month with Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

The stars of the Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin tribute have now been confirmed, with PSO and WAAPA Gospel Choir gearing up for an epic night of soul, pop, funk and R&B at Astor Theatre on May 31.

WAAPA’s Head of Contemporary Voice and director of the Gospel Choir, Matt Allen, will play Wonder, while Sophie Foster takes on Franklin.

Local rapper Empty, aka Brian Kruger, will also make an appearance alongside 14-year-old student Jordan Anthony and more.

The timely tribute follows on from Franklin’s final LP, A Brand New Me, which was released last year and produced by Stevie Wonder.

The past 12 months have been huge for PSO, who reinvented the music of Nirvana, Ministry Of Sound and more to much acclaim.
