“Aretha: A Tribute” with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra
116 E Third St., Jamestown, NY 14701
The 2022 season of the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra features the first-ever performance by the orchestra not to take place on the Institution grounds, as the ensemble will perform a special concert on Aug. 12 at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts in nearby Jamestown. Originally planned for 2020, the initiative is made possible by the Fund for Downtown Programming awarded through the Jamestown Local Development Corporation and made possible by the Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI).
The concert, titled “Aretha: A Tribute,” under the baton of Principal Pops Conductor Stuart Chafetz, will feature all-star singer and Broadway favorite Capathia Jenkins and bass Darryl Williams. The program includes iconic Aretha hits such as “Respect,” “Think,” “A Natural Woman,” “Chain of Fools,” “Amazing Grace,” and many more.
The Jamestown performance represents a first-time undertaking for the 93-year-old orchestra, following the Institution’s vision to expand its impact by taking Chautauqua’s celebrated mission and programs beyond the grounds. Tickets to this special performance are available beginning in May and can be purchased at reglenna.com by phone (716-484-7070) or in person at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts Box Office located at 116 East 3rd Street, Jamestown, NY.
