Be inspired by musicians who defy expectations
American Songbook: Singer Outsiders, curated in collaboration with Tamar-kali and Kathleen Hanna, uplifts women and nonbinary musicians who have shaped the modern landscape of music and continue to drive conversations on gender, identity, and empowerment. This spring series features a bold lineup of powerhouse voices from across the punk, pop, jazz, classical, R&B, and theater worlds—including Julia Bullock, Meshell Ndegeocello, Shaina Taub, Gossip, and more—all for free or Choose-What-You-Pay.
Catch international premieres on the New York stage
In collaboration with the New York Philharmonic, Rubén Blades' large-scale musical work Maestra Vida—a soaring, genre-defying urban drama centered on the Latin American lived experience—will be presented in the U.S. for the very first time. The U.S. premiere of the UK’s most celebrated Hip-Hop dance theater company, Boy Blue, brings movement at its most fluid, distilled, and skilled with Cycles. Through spoken word and dance, Carnival of the Animals reframes Camille Saint-Saëns’ classic as it navigates the shifting societal values and our relationship to democracy.

This special performance of Voices of a People’s History centers the voice and vision of Black women writers with musical and spoken word performances by Black female artists and readings from the acclaimed book I Know What the Red Clay Looks Like, edited by Rebecca Carroll. Thirty years after its original publication, a newly imagined edition brings the work and musings of 15 Black literary luminaries in conversation with a new generation of writers and readers. I Know What the Red Clay Looks Like is a book unbound by time, lifting up a chorus of past and present voices—paying homage to a historic lineage of Black feminist writers and their impact on our current literary landscape. It is a book by and for the storytellers, the poets, the playwrights, the dreamers, and all readers interested in what it means to make art within and from marginalized spaces.
Featuring live performances by Alyson Palmer, Italy Reiss, J Wortham, Sol Street, Sydni Johnson, and Tressie McMillan Cottom. Narrated by Rebecca Carroll and Haley Pessin.
