A powerful and evocative evening of musical performances and readings celebrating the freedom to read without boundaries. "Voices Unbound: An Evening of Music and Literary Defiance" is a unique event dedicated to honoring the writers whose works have faced censorship and challenge.

This event will take place in person at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on the 7th Floor and will be recorded.

As we gather in an intimate and dynamic setting, the evening will feature:

Musical Performances by Krystofer Maison: Experience diverse musical styles that resonate with themes of resistance and liberation. Talented musicians will perform pieces that amplify oppressed voices and celebrate art's transformative power.

Readings from Banned Books: Hear stirring readings from some of the most influential banned books in literary history. Passionate readers will bring these passages to life, shedding light on their enduring relevance and profound impact.

This event promises an evening of inspiration and solidarity, where we come together to reaffirm the importance of creative expression and intellectual freedom. Don't miss this opportunity to honor the legacy of courageous authors and to be part of a movement that celebrates the unyielding power of voices unbound.
