Local artists Kate Suhr and Lesley Lepine will join the festivities, and Capitol favourite Yunike Soedarmasto (Prairie Nurse, A Year with Frog & Toad) will also contribute a few songs to the mix. An all-female band will be led by Music Director Rachel O'Brien, featuring Jasmine Jones Ball, Kia Rose, and Tami Sorovaiski. The concerts will be hosted by local singer and youth educator Kelly Perras.
The Power of Women program features hits by Jann Arden, Aretha Franklin, Carole King, Mariah Carey, Adele, Taylor Swift, and many more.
"Our team at the Capitol is full of incredible female leaders," says Artistic Director Rob Kempson. "And that same spirit is often reflected in our work on stage. So I'm excited to get out of the way for this incredible team of women to rock so many iconic songs at the Capitol in celebration of International Women's Day."
In collaboration with the Port Hope and District Chamber of Commerce, a special, free speaker-series event to mark International Women's Day will also take place at the Capitol, on March 7 at 3:30 p.m. Guests of the speakers event will also have the opportunity to power up their experience through paid access to an exclusive reception and dress rehearsal performance of The Power of Women to kick off the weekend.
