So please join us for an audience with <strong>Nona Hendryx</strong>, legendary singer/songwriter, technological innovator, and all-around wise and wonderful person. She'll talk to us about her long, illustrious career spent blurring the lines between genres and her brand new project, <strong>"The Dream Machine,"</strong> which will debut this summer as part of Lincoln Center's Summer for the City. Later on in the conversation, we're joined by two young artists working with her on "The Dream Machine," <strong>Nia-Simone Egerton</strong> and <strong>Sophia Edwards</strong>, who chat about their experience making this larger-than-life project come to fruition. We're so excited to finally share this experience with all of you, so take your seats. Class in session!
