CELEBRATE new commissions for the first time
In July and August, the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center performs the North American premiere of Huang Ruo’s City of Floating Sounds, an interactive work that fuses music and technology with a mobile app-enabled soundscape and live performance, and a world premiere by Hannah Kendall, inspired by scripture from Job:27 and Schumann’s Symphony No. 2. Through August 9, experience the next generation of experimental canon with this summer's category-defying Living Music Underground series, curated by Nadia Sirota.![](https://images.lincolncenter.org/image/upload/v1711643259/h1ubbujfkzuywz2uunl4.png)
PARTICIPATE at the intersection of arts and civic engagement
Join us for our Civic Saturdays performance series, designed to unite friends and strangers in the spirit of shared community, including the Civic Speakeasy hosted by poet-in-residence Mahogany L. Browne. In August, our longtime partner, Voices of a People's History, hosts The People Speak—and Sing!, a performance of songs and readings that speak to the themes of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. On August 10, pop culture meets activism with the Ruidosa Fest, the Latine-led international feminist platform, with a full day of lectures, live music, and a late-night silent disco.![](https://images.lincolncenter.org/image/upload/v1711643406/djwgtra6rbkmrubp8ea4.png)

Exploring the Puerto Rican Experience in New York City (1920-1960)
To make the arts more accessible, tickets are available on a Choose-What-You-Pay basis.
Part of Legacies of San Juan Hill, an ongoing project that aims to uplift the history, communities, and cultural legacy of the Manhattan neighborhoods that existed in and around the area where Lincoln Center was built.
Co-presented by the Center for Puerto Rican Studies/Hunter College and Lincoln Center
Between the two World Wars, Puerto Ricans migrated to New York City in rapidly growing numbers, spurred by the U.S. citizenship status they received in 1917. They established a creative, working-class, politically active community whose artistry flourished amid its struggle for empowerment.
Much of this activity was centered in San Juan Hill where a sizeable Puerto Rican enclave anchored the neighborhood. Community activism among its residents grew in response to unemployment, housing practices, and displacement. Against this backdrop, an explosion of musical talent and innovation proliferated. Puerto Rican musicians, such as Rafael Hernández, Ram Ramirez, Pedro Flores, and Manuel Jimenez, performed in the many venues that were hallmarks of the neighborhood and broke new ground musically, influencing Latin and jazz music for generations to come.
Join us for a conversation on the Puerto Rican experience in San Juan Hill—a defining chapter in the history of Puerto Rican New York.
Enjoy live music and complimentary wine before and after the panel discussion.
