Nana Simopoulos

Nana Simopoulos draws her music’s melodic color from the map of world cultures. She artfully blends sounds and textures from around the world. Indian sarangi master Ustad Sultan Khan accompanies her on her last two releases, “After The Moon” and “Daughters Of The Sun” (Na Records), #1 on the NAV New Age and World radio charts. Nana’s first album, “Pandora’s Blues,” won critic’s choice from DOWNBEAT Magazine. Nana has been commissioned by numerous dance companies, such as Joffrey Ballet, American Dance Festival, Ballet Hispanico, North Carolina Dance Theater; and by former Pilobolus choreographer Peter Pucci. She has also written for film and theater, including “An Absolute Mystery,” which premiered at La Mama, and “American Dreams, Lost and Found.”
