Listen to Nina Simone’s haunting music through Agatha Alstrom’s voice and piano, expressing Nina’s deep soulful pain, raw defiance, and bittersweet joy, accompanied by Ben Emond’s vocals and “sun-drenched” harmonies. This singer-songwriter pair creates heartfelt, often romantic musical performances.
Kata MEiC is an Ottawa-based artist, author, designer, and creator of idfRNt®️. Her work, rooted in colour, feeling, intuition, and lived experience, reminds people that being different holds beauty, truth, and light, and awakens memories and feelings—something quiet, real, and half-forgotten. Children simply feel the beauty.
idfRNt®️ events are inspired and created by artists from your city in your neighbourhood who present choreographic, music and artwork just for you. Come on May 12 to GCTC, your neighbourhood place to meet over art and experience a feeling of spring.
