Nikky Finney and the Reel World String Band collaborate for a concert to benefit the New Opportunity School for Women. Arson destroyed the offices of the School in Berea on December, 11, 2011,   and this concert is to help restore this vital organization’s future and to celebrate their 25th Anniversary.  Writer Nikky Finney appears for a rare local reading as she tours extensively since her 2011 National Book Award for poetry for her fourth book of poetry, Head Off and Split.  Reel World String Band is celebrating their 35th Anniversary of performing and activism. Come celebrate the richness of Appalachian and Affrilachian culture with these two Kentucky treasures.
