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.We've sent an email to the address you provided.

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.

Presented in collaboration with Under the Radar
*Please note: This performance contains adult themes and explicit language. Audience members must be 16+.
“Paint gold in the part of me that is broken. Let my faultline shine, these golden precious scars are fine, divine, and mine.”
Joe and his dog Mister lose their home, and facing separation, head into the world for one last grand adventure together. The world seems broken, but Joe sees magic in the mundane, beauty amidst brutality, and life in the lost and lonely. He and Mister encounter Mother Nature, Santa Claus, Jesus and the Tooth Fairy, witness a troupe of homeless players in a cardboard theater, and show a disenfranchised teen how to jump over the moon in a playground rocket ship. A seemingly simple tale of a simple man, Wonderful Joe is a love letter to imagination, hope, and the art of filling broken hearts with gold. Ronnie Burkett brings Wonderful Joe to life with his signature style of beautiful puppetry and solo performance, with a glorious score and soundscape by John Alcorn.
If you have any questions about this event, please contact Guest Experience at 212-875-5456 or [email protected].

Wonderful Joe was created with the support of The Explore and Create Programme of the Canada Council for the Arts
Ronnie Burkett is an acclaimed puppeteer, playwright, performer and designer. He has entertained audiences with his theatrical productions featuring puppets of his own design and creation for more than 40 years. He began his career with a one-man street theater show that toured schools and community centers to great fanfare. He later formed his own theater company and turned his creative attention to adult themes and characters that would come to embody artistically-conceived archetypes of the human condition, beloved by his devoted followers worldwide. He is not only a prolific writer, but also an avant-garde designer and performer, creating original and innovative new work at a breathtaking pace. Awarded Canada’s 2024 Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Achievement, Ronnie also received the 2009 Siminovitch Prize in Theatre, The Herbert Whittaker Drama Bench Award for Outstanding Contribution to Canadian Theatre, a Village Voice OBIE award and the GLAAD Award for Outstanding Theater, Broadway/Off-Broadway.
