About the event
Musicambia, where music meets change.
We have a special treat in store for you. Experience the powerful voice and storytelling of Kenyatta Emmanuel, artist, activist, and performer from Sing Sing to Carnegie Hall. Kenyatta will be joined by The Cambia Collective, Musicambia’s band of Teaching Artists and Alumni. Musicambia (“music”+“change”) helps people in prison write, play, and perform music, cultivating collaborative communities that benefit the health and well-being of everyone involved.
Following the musical performance, author Colin Asher be read excerpts from his forthcoming book, The Midnight Special: The Secret Prison History of American Music (W.W. Norton and Company, June 30, 2026). Copies of Colin’s book will be available for purchase and signing afterward.
This event is free to attend; we will collect donations for Musicambia to continue their extraordinary work changing lives through music.
