Nona Hendryx and Disciples of Sun Ra in the Temple

Sun Ra was a visionary artist and composer who infused his ecstatic performances with costumes and mythology that both looked back to ancient Egypt and forward into science fiction. Vocalist, songwriter, and author Nona Hendryx has created a multisensory tribute to this iconoclastic musician, with orchestrations by composer, trombonist, and Sun Ra devotee Craig Harris, conceived specifically for The Temple of Dendur in The Sackler Wing.

Gallery 131, The Temple of Dendur in The Sackler Wing
Unreserved seating; first come, first served
Premium seating available.
Bring the Kids for $1 (ages 6–16).
Tickets include same-day Museum admission.

This program is in partnership with Harlem Stage WaterWorks commissioned, yearlong, citywide celebration of Sun Ra, The Cosmic Synthesis of Sun Ra and Afrofuturism.

This program is made possible in part by the Jerome Robbins Foundation, Jody and John Arnhold, and the Lavori Sterling Foundation, Inc.Work with artist and designer Virgil Ortiz to create costume pieces for this performance in a workshop on February 22 and 23. Discounted performance tickets are available for workshop participants.
