Supported by Arts Council for England, Four Women is a collaborative project focused on the four archetypal roles of African American women portrayed in the same named Nina Simone song. 

​

With members of the Untold orchestras string section collaborating with artists including DJ Paulette, Shirley May, Seren Marimba, Maisha Kungu, Jenna G and Yemi Bolatiwa, the project creatively interprets these four archetypal roles to a soundtrack of chamber music written by composers Jessie Montgomery, Daniel Bernard Roumain and of course, Nina Simone. 

​

The impact of Nina's performance at the NIA Centre in 1991 has helped in shaping our vision as an orchestra. We are continuing to build on Four Women with a new piece entitled Movement, set for 2024.
