CHANNELING NINA

“Channeling Nina” is a performance to honor the legacy of Nina Simone’s voice and agency through contemporary and innovative reinterpretations of her songs. It will show how artists can re-sound Nina and how they can embrace her powerful influence to express something new. These will not be faithful covers or renditions. Rather, her songs will be sung a cappella or with minimal accompaniment. Swinging between a quintessential chant and experimentalism, the focus will be on the magnetism of the voice and on the personal ties that each vocalist feels with Simone.
