Rhiannon Giddens will perform at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on June 21, 2026. Giddens is a celebrated American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose work broadly explores the intersections of historical Black string band music, blues, jazz, and opera. She frequently centers the contributions of African American musicians to the evolution of American roots music, often utilizing banjo, fiddle, and voice as primary instruments. Her performances are known for both virtuosic skill and deeply researched historical context.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, colloquially “The Met,” is one of the world’s largest and finest art museums. Founded in 1870 with the aim of establishing an art museum to bring art and art education to the American people, its collection encompasses over 5,000 years of art from across the globe. The Museum’s holdings represent diverse cultures and periods – from ancient Egyptian artifacts to European paintings to contemporary installations.
