The Mother of Us All

  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art (map)

Ms. Keong will be performing the role of Henrietta M. in Virgil Thomson’s The Mother of Us All, co-presented by the New York Philharmonic, The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s MetLiveArts performance series, and The Juilliard School, as part of Project 19, a multiyear New York Philharmonic initiative.

“This iconic American opera is deeply relevant today: the fight for women's suffrage that it depicts is mirrored in current struggles for the civil rights of people disenfranchised on the basis of gender, race, and sexuality.”

Daniela Candillari, conductor
Louisa Proske, director
