Lady Kristofferson who was seen at St Paul’s Cathedral for the late Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee Celebration, honoured the late Queen in her Timeless and Festive Christmas Concerts, “She’s an example of what we need to do to strive to bring us all together”.
She was always in prayer, so “In loving memory”, Nina will be using her prodigious musical talents to WOW audiences again in London’s West End with her intimate Billie Holiday Concert at The Pheasantry on the 19th February 2023 at 8pm, and later on the 10 March at Cedars Halls, Wells Cathedral where she’ll be sharing snippets from her Award Winning musical play’s cocktail of songs and stories from Billie Holiday’s life.
The stunning vocals of Nina, incredibly captures Lady Day’s music, her mental health, the drugs, alcoholism, love, racism, her relationship with men, the abuse she suffered by those who took advantage of her exposing what drove her and finally killed her. The Award winning Jazz singer, Nina Kristofferson was recently seen on British TV after paying her respects to Queen Elizabeth II in Parliament’s Westminster Hall.
