Grammy Award-winning artist Meshell Ndegeocello brings her new album to life in an unforgettable live performance. Nearly a decade in the making, No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin is a profound musical journey that channels the timeless words of James Baldwin through Ndegeocello’s genre-defying artistry.

A multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer, Ndegeocello infuses Baldwin’s exploration of race, sexuality, religion, and identity with her own unique blend of soulful melodies, jazz, funk, and spoken word.

This event is held in partnership with the Humanities Council at Princeton University, as part of the Baldwin Circles project.

Join an Arts & Ideas conversation on stage with the artists and Princeton University poet and professor Patricia Smith following the performance.
