The Museum of African Art pays tribute to celebrated 19th-century opera singer Jenny Lind with an outdoor performance at Castle Clinton in Battery Park, the site of her United States debut 159 years ago. A project by South African artist Ruth Sacks, The Pervasive Echo features singer Kathleen Berger as Lind, who was known as “the Swedish Nightingale.”
