PROGRAM

GRAMMY®-winning musician Meshell Ndegeocello performs from her newest album No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin , a striking homage to the eminent writer and activist James Baldwin to be released on his Centennial: August 2, 2024. The visionary work is at once a musical experience, a church service, a celebration, a testimonial, and a call to action. With No More Water, Ndegeocello embarks on a prophetic musical odyssey that transcends boundaries and genres, delving headfirst into race, sexuality, religion, and other recurring themes explored in Baldwin’s canon. The multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer renders an immersive and palpable document that is as sagacious, unabashed, and introspective as Baldwin was in life. 

Ndegeocello will be joined by her band and two spoken word artists for this powerful live performance.
