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.

The historic neighborhood of San Juan Hill was alive with theaters, clubs, and dancehalls. A cultural hotbed in the first half of the 20th century, music and dance thrived in the area. It was home to one of the largest Black populations in New York City before 1910, including a diverse African American and Afro-Caribbean community, as well as a large immigrant population from across Western and Eastern Europe, and later, a sizable Puerto Rican enclave. In this cosmopolitan environment, musical influences across cultures created a thriving home for artistic innovation. Musicians of diverse backgrounds found opportunities to play in the jazz bands that were gaining popularity, as well as to make their own music. Musical styles that would become international phenomena, including swing and bebop, were forged through the cultural exchange that took root in San Juan Hill.
Join us for a program celebrating the cross-cultural musical innovation of San Juan Hill, with performances by rising star Andre Perlman and his jazz ensemble and moderated by Loren Schoenberg, Founding Director and Senior Scholar at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem.
