Sing for Your Life: A Story of Race, Music and Family

At twelve-years old, Ryan Speedo Green was placed in solitary confinement in Virginia’s juvenile facility of last resort. At twenty-four, he won America’s most prestigious contest for young opera singers, and this fall he makes a starring debut at the Metropolitan Opera in Puccini’s La Bohème. Sing for Your Life: A Story of Race, Music and Family is Daniel Bergner’s vivid chronicle of this triumphant journey, and it will soar into your heart, take hold, and inspire you in the way very few stories can.  Hear Ryan’s story. Hear Ryan sing! Join us for an book launch with Daniel Bergner and live performances by Ryan Speedo Green.
