Discover transformative New York and world premieres

Contemporary and classical traditions reflect New York's cultural diversity in never-before-experienced premieres at Lincoln Center. This October, the third annual Festival of Firsts showcases artists exploring new horizons and celebrating major career milestones—all for free at the Atrium! Dancers transform calligraphy into performance alongside holographic projection in the U.S. premiere of Ink; and David Lang's poor hymnal, a concert-length work written for the GRAMMY-winning chamber choir The Crossing, has its New York premiere in December. 

Celebrate 15 years of FREE programming at the Atrium

The David Rubenstein Atrium has offered 15 years of dynamic, free programming—opening our world to culture that addresses today’s most pressing issues and explores our common humanity. To celebrate the occasion, we're bringing back fan-favorites, from across genres, to light up the stage this fall! Featured artists include: Treya Lam and Kaki King, Jaime Lozano, Mahogany L. Browne's Seen, Sound, Scribe, Migguel Anggelo, a Día de Muertos Celebration, American Pops Orchestra, and so many more.

Revel in Latine and global artists on the New York stage

This year, beginning October 2024, we're honoring the incomparable Rubén Blades, one of the most successful vocalists and songwriters in music and salsa history, with performances across the campus. The New Latin Wave returns with FUTUROS, presenting composers in new music, experimental, and neo-classical fields for four nights only at the Atrium. On October 24, the modern face of Portuguese fado and global phenomenon, superstar vocalist Mariza, makes her Lincoln Center debut with a headlining concert.
