Met Expert Talks—Celebrating Juneteenth

  • The Met Fifth Avenue 1000 5th Avenue New York, NY, 10028 United States (map)

Enjoy a performance by pianist Nnenna Ogwo as she plays the 1903/1904 Erard La Mort du Cygne Grand Piano from The Met collection. Ogwo's music is rooted in the belief that we can't be what we can't see or hear. Through exploring the music of underrepresented composers, Ogwo brings to life sounds and histories we might not otherwise experience. Join us for a deep dive into the musical instrument galleries as we hear new insights and untold stories from Ogwo and take a closer look at the connections to Juneteenth. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions. 

Free with Museum admission, though advance registration is recommended.

Note: Space is limited; first come, first served. Priority will be given to those who register.
