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.

In the spirit of the holiday season, Moët & Chandon is hosting a series of global celebrations in more than 20 cities around the world, bringing people together in celebration of connection and diversity. Of all cities, New York City in particular has a long-standing relationship with the Maison. As a hallmark of the occasion, Moët & Chandon has commissioned a public sculpture, “Your Voices” by British contemporary artist Es Devlin, installed on Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza as a celebration of cultural connection in the most linguistically diverse place on the planet, New York, where over 700 languages are currently spoken.
The kinetic sculpture is formed of 700 glowing cords expressing the 700 languages currently spoken in New York City, which are tensioned between a series of structural arcs, enveloping visitors within a revolving illuminated network as it rotates north, south, east and west through a multilingual soundscape which interweaves languages drawn from all over the city: from Algerian Arabic, Alsation, Azeri and Ashanti to Zapotec, Zarma and Zulu.
The work responds to anthropologist Wade Davis’s observation: ‘Every language is an old growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an entire ecosystem of spiritual possibilities.’
As the sculpture revolves, it acts as a lens between the viewer and their surroundings. The viewer’s perspective is spliced and framed by the shifting strands of the sculpture as it turns, evoking the way our perspectives are enriched and shaped by experiencing the linguistic structures and identities of others, amidst a soundscape composed by the contemporary composers, Polyphonia, in which the powerful text from EM Forster’s 1910 novel Howards End has been translated into multiple overlaid languages: “Only connect, and live in fragments no longer.”
Every language is a vast library of cultural, historical, and biological knowledge gathered over centuries and New York City is a living linguistic library. The luminous harmonics of this work aim to draw our attention to the complex beauty of New York’s linguistic diversity and celebrate its vital role in the resilience and civic sustainability of the city and its future. The work has been made in association with the Endangered Language Alliance. Their interactive map details every language and the location of its speakers within the city: https://languagemap.nyc
On select evenings at 6:00 pm, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts curates a series of New York-based choral groups to perform live from within the sculpture. Each choir represents the vast range of unique voices and languages of this special city.
