Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, announced today the list of speakers and performers who will participate in an all-day TEDxMet event on Saturday, September 26, 9:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The theme of the program is The In-Between.

A broad range of stories will be told, in a variety of formats. Among the presenters are: a former death row prisoner recently exonerated after serving 39 years in prison; a 14-year-old musical prodigy; a transgender author and activist; a leader in diabetes patient care, research, and education; a New York City Ballet Principal Dancer; a community developer confronting issues of the environment, affordable housing, and education; a composer and a poet, both recent Pulitzer Prize winners; the author of a seminal article on growing up bi-racial; a performance group investigating contemporary issues theatrically; an art educator who galvanizes both traditional and non-traditional art-going audiences; visual artists and designers who examine the creative process; and curators with specialties at the two extremes of the art-historical timeline—the ancient world and today.

Made possible by Adrienne Arsht.

Additional support has been provided by Chipotle Mexican Grill and Design Within Reach.

The main stage of this year's TEDxMet will be at The Met Breuer, the landmark building designed by Marcel Breuer on Madison Avenue at 75th Street in New York. It is for now an "in-between" space: no longer the Whitney Museum, and not yet open to the public as The Met Breuer, where the Met's first season of programming will begin in March 2016.

The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium at the Met's Main Building at Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street will be the second venue for TEDxMet, with a live high-definition video feed between the two locations. The Grace Rainey Rogers stage will host most of the live performances (music, dance, theater), along with a live feed of the talks from The Met Breuer. The Breuer audience will view The Grace Rainey Rogers performances via video feed. The entire program will also be livestreamed on the Met's website.

Mr. Campbell said, "It is exciting to host such a powerful roster of TEDxMet participants at this extraordinary building's first program as The Met Breuer, while it is still in a raw, transitional state. It provides the perfect backdrop for this year's celebration of gray areas and liminal spaces. Expect to be challenged by this diverse group of thought leaders, performers, and curators as they reflect on lives in flux and on the in-between spaces where artists create. We are also delighted that this ambitious September event is the stepping stone to the ongoing programming that will launch several months from now at The Met Breuer, where our visitors will engage with the art of the 20th and 21st centuries through the global and historical breadth of the Met's unparalleled collection."

The full list of this year's TEDxMet presenters follows. A short biography of each is posted online.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
