Nina Simone: Reflection

“An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.” - Nina Simone

Nina Simone was a singer, songwriter and activist who called out the truths of her time. In our Uncovered Series, Old Town School faculty and staff will honor Ms. Simone through music and dance and reflect on what's happening in our world today. With Election Day around the corner, this show will be both entertaining and timely.
