Ursula Yovich Sings Nina Simone

Ursula Yovich ignites Nina Simone’s spirit with power, soul and defiance.

Ursula Yovich steps into the spotlight to bring the music of Nina Simone to life with a performance that is both powerful and vulnerable, and all her own. Backed by an exceptional live band, Ursula revisits the musical legacy and cultural activism of the High Priestess of Soul with emotional depth and reflection. The songs you love are here, alive with new energy – with Ursula holding a mirror to the present, finding echoes of power, resilience and hope in the world today. 

This is more than a tribute – it’s a conversation across time cultures and continents, one that holds space for resilience, connection and subtle transformation, leaving a lasting impression without losing its sense of immediacy. 

Ursula Yovich is an award-winning actor, singer, playwright, director and voice artist whose work spans theatre, film, and television. A proud Burarra performer, she is recognised as one of Australia’s most powerful and versatile storytellers. Don’t miss an evening of music and stories that will stir your spirit and stay with you long after the final note.
