Presented in partnership with The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts

Join us for a free virtual verbal description workshop, designed for guests who are blind or have low vision, of Rhythm Is My Business: Women Who Shaped Jazz.

The narrative of jazz history has frequently centered on the accomplishments of “great musical men,” overshadowing the contributions of many remarkable women. This exhibition sheds light on these extraordinary women, showcasing the diverse talents and groundbreaking work of female musicians through photographs, posters, video, audio, and other archival items in the collection of The New York Public Library’s Music and Recorded Sound Division.

Led by educator Laura Sloan, this workshop will incorporate verbal description and discussion.

To register for this workshop and other events for the blind and low vision community, please submit our registration form.
