Known for her powerful and riveting vocals, Broadway Diva N'Kenge (Motown: The Musical and Sondheim and Sondheim) will grace the stage at Classic FM's Four Decades of Radio Hits show with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, under the baton, Joel Levine for three concerts.

In the heart of downtown Milwaukee, join N'Kenge with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra as they bring back memories of solid gold classics from the time when FM ruled the airwaves. There will be four decades worth of blockbuster songs from groups like Chicago; Abba; Leonard Cohen and many more.

Not to be missed, N'Kenge is known to have audiences rising to their feet once their ears have witnessed this Diva's vocal ability. She will be joined on stage by powerhouse singers Jim Hogan, Ron Remke, Josh Turner and Melissa Schott. You won't be able to sit down when N'Kenge sings top 40 favorites such as "I Will Survive", "Let it Be" along with Streisand's classic "The Way We Were".

The NY Post called N'Kenge "Electrifying" in the role of Mary Wells that she originated in Broadway's Smash Hit Motown: The Musical. N'Kenge made her Broadway debut in Sondheim on Sondheim alongside Barbara Cook, Vanessa Williams, Norm Lewis and Tom Wopat which was directed by Pulitzer Prize winner James Lapine. In London, N'Kenge made her West End debut starring in The Genius of Ray Charles. She was hailed by NY Times as "a classically trained diva that can stretch from Broadway, Pop Soul to Opera". N'Kenge starred in the Michael Jackson Tribute Show World Tour and has also been seen as a soloist at Carnegie Hall with The New York Pops Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra to name a few.

The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra performs more than 135 classics, pops, family, education and community concerts each season.Now in it's 45th season, the orchestra has the longest running nationally syndicated radio broadcast series of any US orchestra. After a successful debut with Houston Symphony in a world premiere show, N'Kenge is excited to return in The Four Decades of Radio Hits. It will be an experience unlike any other!
