Lincoln Center Presents
Lincoln Center Presents encompasses year-round programming, presented by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, that reflects New York’s cultural diversity. Our work prioritizes an expansive view of artistic excellence and complements existing programs across the campus and the civic life of the city at large. Throughout the year, we uplift contemporary, classical, and new collaborations—offering fresh interpretations and boundary-blurring art forms in many genres rarely seen at Lincoln Center. Our team is dedicated to making the arts available to the widest possible audience; and the majority of Lincoln Center Presents programs are either FREE or Choose-What-You-Pay. Join us as we break new ground, celebrate the vibrancy of New York City, and bring our constituents and partners together in new ways.
