Jackie who performed in the NWT last year as part of the Juno award-winning production Africville will be joined for a special on-stage performance in Fort Smith FortSimpsonandYellowknife by her daughter Kim herself a three-time Juno winner. This will be a once in a lifetime show said NACC director Marie Coderre who is personally thrilled to wit- ness the production. Its very rare that the mother and daughter are to- gether on the same stage and they are both really gifted. They have such powerful voices Coderre said. Its just amazing to have both of them together. Were very lucky to have almost like a new production having the two together doing that type of show. Though the concert pro- gram will be a surprise Coderre said the duo will be backed by percussion and piano accompanists ready to deliver a mix of RB soul and jazz. In her four decades of per- forming Jackie has won and been nominated for Junos Geminis Jessie and Bessies and Maple Blues awards and has received a Canadian Black Achievement Award for the Arts. Kimwhohasperformedin the U.S. Africa South Amer- ica and Europe has sung for Nelson Mandela Queen Elizabeth II past Governor General Adrienne Clarkson and former prime ministers. Because Jackie loved the North so much during her tour with Africville which went to Norman Wells and InuvikCoderrethoughtshed offer the singer another view of the territory. I thought it would be nice for her to come to Smith in the spring and Simpson. Both are very artistic com- munities she said. Coderre anticipates the show will be sold out at the NACC theatre in Yellowknife and hopes for packed houses in the communities since its their last show until next fall. Its one of my highlights of the season she said. TheRichardsonswillbegin their tour at Fort Smiths St. Josephs Cathedral on May 12 followed by performances at Fort Simpsons Bompas Elementary School on May 14 and NACC in Yellowknife on May 16. All shows are at 730 p.m. Tickets are 25 for adults and 15 for seniorsyouth and can be purchased at the Northern Life Museum in Fort Smith or at the Open Sky Gallery in Fort Simpson.
