Hi, I’m Kristen Lee Sergeant – I’m a singer/songwriter based in NYC, and I’m captivated by the art of Édouard Manet. I’m currently creating an album of songs based on his paintings – these are some demos of a few for your listening pleasure.
This site was created as a mobile audio guide to the Manet/Degas exhibit at the Met — so it’ll look better on your phone.
Since the exhibit closed, this site serves to introduce you to the work in progress, and to invite you to support the forthcoming album and the immersive concert experience. Thank you for listening!
“Manet & The Women” is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts organization.

AllAboutJazz ran a piece on Kristen sharing the music at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I’m currently finishing the last song for the album, and preparing to record. There’s a ways to go to make sure the project is funded — if you’d like to make an immediate tax-deductible contribution, you can do so here.
If you’d like to see more information on the project, drop your email here and I’ll send you the PDF deck right away for the project.
