See yourself at Lincoln Center

Discover transformative new work and U.S. premieres

Contemporary and classical traditions reflect New York's cultural diversity in never-before-experienced premieres at Lincoln Center. David Lang's poor hymnal, a concert-length work written for the GRAMMY-winning chamber choir The Crossing, has its New York premiere this December. Get swept up in the world of Carmen like never before with La Carmencita, a fresh take on Bizet's classic from the innovative new opera company, The Opera Next Door. In collaboration with the New York Philharmonic, Rubén Blades' large-scale musical work Maestra Vida—a soaring, genre-defying urban drama centered on the Latin American lived experience—will be presented in the U.S. for the very first time.

Celebrate 15 years of FREE programming at the Atrium

The David Rubenstein Atrium has offered 15 years of dynamic, free programming—opening our world to culture that addresses today’s most pressing issues and explores our common humanity. To celebrate the occasion, we're bringing back fan-favorites, from across genres, to light up the stage this fall! Featured artists include: Treya Lam and Kaki King, Jaime Lozano, Mahogany L. Browne's Seen, Sound, Scribe, Migguel AnggeloAmerican Pops Orchestra, and so many more.

Revel in Latine and global artists on the New York stage

This year, beginning October 2024, we're honoring the incomparable Rubén Blades, one of the most successful vocalists and songwriters in music and salsa history, with performances across the campus. The New Latin Wave returns with FUTUROS, presenting composers in new music, experimental, and neo-classical fields for four nights only at the Atrium. On January 12, globalFEST returns to David Geffen Hall for another full-theater takeover, populating all the floors and venues of the building with soul-stirring performers from across the planet and around the corner.
