Taking place on July 27 in Philadelphia at the Mann Centre for the Performing Arts, the concert is being held as a fundraiser for inner city children.
Rice will start the show with a solo, accompanying the Philadelphia Orchestra and conductor Rossen Milanov for Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor, then Franklin will join in to perform her classic soul anthems and a few arias.

What we find particularly interesting is the obvious political party differences. Rice, the quintessential Republican, will play with the life-long Democrat who didn't vote for Rice's former employer. According to Franklin, they've put their differences aside for this show, though. She was recently quoted as saying, "Ms Rice is a consummate classical pianist and since I sing the arias, I thought we could do something. A bipartisan effort for our favorite charities."
