Harlem Stage says…

The Black Rock Coalition Orchestra presents one of its most captivating incarnations- the all-female tribute to the inimitable Nina Simone.  Under the musical direction of composer Tamar-kali, this show was first performed in May 2002, mere weeks after the legendary singer's death. Nina's own daughter, Simone, joined the orchestra that night and at the end of the sold-out show, a teary-eyed Simone gave the orchestra the ultimate compliment by proclaiming that her mother would have been proud.  Seven years after her passing, and fresh off of a string of standing-room only shows in France, the Black Rock Coalition continues to celebrate Nina's legacy with performances that highlight Simone's unwavering influence on some of today's most dynamic musicians.
