Aria Ratcliff's Take on Nina Simone — live event
($20-$30 Tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows) Beloved vocalist Aria Ratcliff brings the timeless spirit of Nina Simone to life in a special evening of her music. With her strong voice, emotional depth, and commanding stage presence, Ratcliff will channel Simone’s fearless artistry through Simone's signature songs. Nina Simone was a groundbreaking artist whose influence extended far beyond music. As a pianist, vocalist, and composer, she fused classical training with jazz, blues, gospel, and folk with raw emotion. With songs like "Mississippi Goddam", and "Young, Gifted and Black", Simone became a fearless spokesperson for the Civil Rights Movement, channeling both anger and hope into her performances. She used her platform to confront racism, inequality, and injustice, making her music both a personal expression and a rallying cry for social change.
