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.
