A delicate twist on the familiar notion of a tribute show, Dear Nina is a love ode that commits to honoring the wisdom, truths, and stories embedded in Nina Simone's legacy: musicially, socially, and politically. Drea d’Nur (Voice, Piano), Juliette Jones (Violin, Arrangements), Monique Brooks Roberts (Violin), Jarvis Benson (Viola), Malcolm Parson (Cello), Chris “BassPlayaPlaya” Johnson (Double Bass), and Riza Printup (Harp) share center stage in this uniquely intimate and newly orchestrated songbook of Nina’s Love Songs, Blues, and Protest Music—echoing Wondersmith's ethos of equity, artistry, and community-driven storytelling.
