For over 20 years, the American Opera Project has partnered with the Fort Greene Park Conservancy and NYC Parks Department creating site-specific original music and poetry illuminating the life of Walt Whitman. These tours are free and open to the public who may be drawn by the allure of the historic Fort Greene Park but leave having experienced contemporary performance art and poetry.

The Fort Greene Park walking tour is led by Walt Whitman scholar and historian Karen Karebiener and contralto Nicole Mitchell.
