Manet and 
the Women

Hi, I’m Kristen Lee Sergeant – I’m a singer/songwriter based in NYC, and I’m captivated by the art of Éduoard Manet. I’m currently creating an album of songs based on his paintings – here are some demos of a few for you to enjoy (whether or not you’re attending the Manet/Degas exhibit at the Met.) If you like the tunes and want to help this project along, I would love to tell you more here.

Thank you for listening

Would you like to hear these songs arranged for jazz quartet and string quartet? How about songs for “Olympia” and a few other choice subjects? This is only the beginning – your support can help bring this project to life here.

Thank you for your precious attention.
