Nina Simone married art and activism during her legendary Carnegie Hall performance in 1964, leading to a historic live album and definitive recording of her civil rights anthem “Mississippi Goddam.” Boldly stepping into Simone’s shoes is powerhouse vocalist and Grammy winner Ledisi, whose 2021 album Ledisi Sings Nina showcases “both the diversity and depth of Simone’s musicianship, and the breathtaking range and reach of Ledisi’s own voice” (The New York Times). Taking on Simone’s emotionally searing, socially conscious songs, Ledisi returns to Carnegie Hall to pay tribute to one of the icons of 20th-century music.
