Winston-Salem native Nia Imani Franklin — who is also a vocalist, composer, and former Miss America — returns to the stage in her hometown Saturday, May 11, 2024.

The artist will perform songs alongside the Winston-Salem Symphony like “Being Good Isn’t Good Enough” and “Embraceable You”. Get ready to experience soulful renditions of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”, “I Say a Little Prayer for You”, and “At Last”. Think gospel, blues, broadway hits.

“Curating ‘At Last’ with Winston-Salem Symphony allows me to show a different part of myself through music,” said Franklin. “Seeing a live orchestra is something the family will remember for years to come.”

Watch the performance at RJ Reynolds Auditorium (301 N. Hawthorne Rd.) at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $10 to $95. Wear your most fashionable outfits and walk the red carpet at this formal event.
