Artist Jennie C. Jones;s fascination with sound manifests in her sculptures, from early works made from audio cables to her 2025 Met Roof Garden Commission, Ensemble, a set of abstract string instruments that "hits a high note" (Artnet).
For this special performance, "America's foremost new-music group" (The New Yorker) International Contemporary Ensemble brings to life Jones's "graphic scores," works on paper that investigate sound through visual means. Jones and the Ensemble's Artistic Director, composer and musicologist George Lewis, will also discuss the scores' formal and sonic structures, which reframe Minimalism's legacy and illuminate new intersections between music, abstraction, and experimentation.
This performance is presented in conjunction with The Roof Garden Commission: Jennie C. Jones, Ensemble.
Tickets start at $35 ($30 + $5 fee)

Learn more about the work of one of the twentieth century's most influential artists. Curator Brinda Kumar joins artists Dana Schutz and Salman Toor to explore the legacy of Philip Guston (1913–1980), who was known for work that grappled with the complexities of the human condition. The conversation centers around The Met's extensive collection of Guston's work, including the landmark promised gift of 220 Guston paintings and drawings from his daughter, Musa Guston Mayer, and offers unique opportunities to consider the full span of his career and the continuing resonance of his work. The evening also brings together perspectives on the pressing issues of Guston's time and our own to reflect upon how artists process and guide the cultural moment.
Presented in conjunction with Philip Guston at The Met.
Free with Museum admission, though advance registration is required. Note: Space is limited; first come, first served.
