Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir Sings Nina Simone

'Nina Simone is an artist whose uncompromising stance for social inclusion could not be more relevant in today's climate. Black Voices had the honour of supporting her in concert many times- This show will allow us to explore and celebrate her great legacy in a totally new way' - Black Voices Quintet

When considering the task of paying homage to someone as seminal as Miss Simone there was one group that immediately sprung to mind: The Black Voices A Cappella Quintet.

Founded by a group of musicians and scholars in 1987 with the mission statement to preserve black oral music traditions, the Quintet have performed to Nelson Mandela at Royal Albert Hall and played alongside Nina Simone herself, as well as Miriam Makeba, Ray Charles and Hugh Masekela.
