Richie Havens

The Concerts & Lectures program at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is dedicated to excellence, continuity, and innovation in its programming. The world-renowned performers that appear on the Grace Rainey Rogers stage, as well as other venues throughout the Museum, are as diverse in their backgrounds and strengths as the Museum's collection. Events range from conversations with renowned contemporary artists and critics to concerts highlighting music by some of the world's most engaging talents. The Multicultural Audience Development Initiative often collaborates with Concerts & Lectures to present rich and varied programming and build new audiences.

Below are highlights from this season of Concerts & Lectures. To see a complete listing of offerings or to order tickets online, see Concerts & Lectures.
