Find your bliss as Lincoln Center's outdoor spaces transform
From June 12—August 10, our outdoor campus transforms into a welcoming oasis where neighbors and New Yorkers from across the city can gather, relax, participate in performances, enjoy expanded food options, read a new book, create art, and even play outdoor games! The outdoor spaces are designed by Visual Director Clint Ramos and inspired by flora and fauna of the American prairie—evoking the ideals of Life, Liberty, and Happiness—with greenery and plants by Donyale Werle Design.

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.
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.
SING and DANCE with the return of long-time favorites
NYC's largest outdoor dance floor with a now-iconic 10-foot disco ball shines bright as the centerpiece of Summer for the City with FREE social dance nights and silent discos every week. Free family shows for all ages, including storytimes, kid-friendly concerts, and dance workshops are offered all summer long. Jazz at Lincoln Center returns with Jazz Underground, featuring a selection of rising star instrumentalists and vocalists that delight audiences at the underground pop-up bar and performance stage. Plus, much-loved performances—globalFEST, BAAND Together, Deaf Broadway, and so much more—come back for an encore!We've sent an email to the address you provided.

They’re not your daughter’s K-Pop band! The nine-piece South Korean ensemble ADG7 (Ak Dan Gwang Chil) draws equal inspiration from newly reclaimed Korean folk styles of gut and minyo and the contemporary Eurocentric stylings of modern K-Pop for music for a mix that will surprise you with its raucous, danceable energy. The band’s charismatic and ultra-fashionably dressed trio of frontwomen are backed by masterfully played traditional Korean instrumentation and present a distinctively theatrical style of performance that's like nothing you've ever heard before, but that you'll never forget. Fresh off of their recent show-stopping Tiny Desk Concert, you won't want to miss the crowd-pleasing sonic sensations that The New York Times calls “catchy, bouncy and brash.”
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Guest Services at 212-875-5456 or [email protected].
