Amyra León

Musician, author, and director Amyra León cannot be contained by genre or medium. The Harlem native promises to explore her multitudes in a performance that melds jazz with spoken word, poetry, and song. León’s voice, tone, and perspective echo the likes of Nina Simone, and her often autobiographical work similarly focuses on Black liberation, generational trauma, and authenticity. A MacDowell Fellow and Artist in Residence at the Vineyard Theatre, León’s solo work has also been featured in an NAACP Award-nominated PBS American Masters documentary. Ahead of the release of her third album, join Amyra León in celebration of the art of survival and the healing power of music.
