N ina Simone - A Musical Life

PRESENTED BY BONNIE LEE GALEA

Saturday, April 29, 6pm

“Goddess of the Piano” and “High Priestess of Soul”, Nina Simone was never afraid to use her music and lyrics to challenge hearts and change minds. Born in 1933, she was playing piano by four years of age. By the early 1950s, she was singing in New York City jazz clubs, mesmerising audiences with her unique style blending popular, gospel, folk, blues songs and classical elements.

Don't Let Her Be Misunderstood, the music will Put a Spell On You and you will leave Feelin' Good. See the show. Hear the stories. Feel the music.

South Australia's Jazz in Cheek Quartet pays homage to the exceptional Nina Simone, featuring Bonnie Lee Galea (voice) Richard Coates (keys) Quinton Dunne (double bass)

Steve Todd (drums and percussion).

December

Friday, May 5, 7pm

December shows us the strength of the human spirit and ability to find hope amid crisis. Joy can shine through even the toughest devastation. Working on a grand scale, Jake uses his acrobatic movement to inform the creation of a series of large-scale drawings and paintings that bring this narrative into clear focus. Balancing between abstraction, and literal, this physical theatre work is an example of the cutting edge of Australian contemporary circus.

Pre-show entertainment
