Celebrate the rich cultural traditions of New York City

In November, the Latin Wave Festival presents their popular Latine Composers Showcase, FUTUROS, New Ideas in Composition, for three nights—all for free, tickets not required! 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, Ukraine, and more to Lincoln Center.

Rediscover the classics and be wowed by world premieres

Lincoln Center Presents prioritizes an expansive view of artistic excellence all season long. Choreographer Akram Khan rethinks the colonizer-centric perspective of The Jungle Book, retelling the story of the young girl Mowgli as a refugee child stranded by the cruel realities of climate change. Aficionados of classical arts won't want to miss Mexican operatic tenor Rolando Villazón and French harpist Xavier de Maistre on December 18 and Philip Glass's The Complete Piano Etudes.

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.
