Celebrate the rich cultural traditions of New York City
The Under the Radar theater festival comes to Lincoln Center in January, connecting New York audiences with the world’s most innovative playwrights and risk-taking work from international performers. This year's globalFEST includes 10 extraordinary artists from around the world, bringing the sounds of Puerto Rico, Spain, Morocco, France, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Mexico, India, South Africa, and Ukraine. Or, hit the dance floor all year-long at the Atrium to top-notch orchestras and major artists in the fields of salsa, Latin jazz, merengue, bachata, boogaloo, and much more, as part of our free ¡VAYA! series.
Rediscover the classics and be wowed by world premieres
Lincoln Center Presents prioritizes an expansive view of artistic excellence and fresh collaborations—on a Choose-What-You-Pay basis. Aficionados of classical arts won't want to miss Mexican operatic tenor Rolando Villazón and French harpist Xavier de Maistre on December 18 and The Movie Music of Terence Blanchard, in collaboration with the New York Philharmonic, on January 28. Works & Process also returns in January with an Underground Uptown Dance Festival, celebrating New York City’s extraordinary club, street, and social dance scene.
Come as you are to welcoming spaces and artistic events
Lincoln Center is committed to integrating access needs in the creative process and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. This fall, we invite kids, teens, and families to discover a love for the arts, including Gimme Please, with a weekend designed specifically for babies/toddlers and another for neurodivergent audiences. Our free legacy programs return for the fall and winter season: Lincoln Center Moments, designed for those with dementia and their caregivers; and Passport to the Arts, bringing live performances from across campus to children, teens, and adults with disabilities.We've sent an email to the address you provided.

Rena Anakwe's Lifting the Ground Up
There are two ways to access this free event:
1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up!
2. Fast Track, opening the Monday before the event at noon. Click here to learn more and reserve.
Lifting the Ground Up [iter.02] is a site-specific, public performance art ritual inspired by the element of earth and incorporates sound, visuals, plants, and scent. Through the restoration of native ecology, land stewardship, and communal care, it is a durational tribute to the communities of San Juan Hill. The project began in fall 2023 with a communal performance art ritual led by interdisciplinary artist, performer, and healer Rena Anakwe. The ritual was performed to prepare the land for a native planting ceremony with local NYC residents. On May 4, 2024, the plants will be revisited with a welcoming ritual and a series of collaborative sound (healing) circles performed with local musicians and sound practitioners. Plants will be given away to continue their life cycles throughout NYC.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Guest Experience at 212-875-5456 or [email protected].
