Dr. Nancy Guy, professor of ethnomusicology at the University of California San Diego, flew from the West Coast to attend the Sills Tribute at the Met. She joined the ticket line outside at 6 am (for the 12 noon ticket distribution), documenting the experience in photographs while she waited. We thank Nancy for her permission to share these photos.
