A friend of the city - Indianapolis is on N'Kenge's list of favorite cities. She has performed several times with the Indianapolis Symphony in their Disco Day, Boogie Nights, Broadway Divas Show and many others. Join N'Kenge with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra as they bring back holiday classics. N'Kenge will be a featured soloist in audience favorites like What Child Is This, All I want for Christmas, Motown hits 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 join on stage this year's host Josh Kaufman, who won the TV show THE VOICE and many other speciality acts.
The NY Post called N'Kenge "electrifying" in the role of Mary Wells, which 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. 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, Cincinnati Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony and Cleveland Orchestra to name a few.
N'Kenge is excited to return to Indianapolis Symphony. Audience members will have a chance to meet her after the evening shows for CDs signings and more.
