American Girl, World Citizen: A Musical Journey of Nina Simone
(2 Performances)
Feb 18th, 7pm - Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College, 899 Tenth Avenue
Feb 22nd, 7 pm - Illinois Jacquet Performance Space, 94-15 159th Street, Jamaica, Queens
A tribute to musician and activist Nina Simone, whose music reflected a variety of genres including classical, jazz, and pop. "In this spirited tribute, a group of powerfully-talented women (hand-picked by Musical Director Tamar-kali) pays homage to a sister traveler of song through works that Nina Simone wrote, touched, or transformed during her transcendent career."
Feb 25th, 8:30 pm - The Mighty Third Rail
David Rubenstein Atrium, Broadway between 62nd and 63rd Streets
The Mighty Third Rail is a local band that mixes the elements of hip hop poetry, beatboxing, violin and bass. They're self-described as "a 3 man squadron lead by Actor/Poet extraordinaire Darian Dauchan and featuring the indelible Ian Baggette on Bass, and the charming Curtis Stewart on violin. When they're powers combine they produce a unique voltron of a sound the likes of which the world has never heard. But no one can be told what The Mighty Third Rail is, you have to experience it for yourself."
