How to Get Tickets to Summer for the City

There are three ways to get tickets to Summer for the City at Lincoln Center, depending on the venue and the programming. Please refer to the dedicated event page of the show you’d like to attend to confirm ticketing options.

Free General Admission

For free events, over half the venue capacity is aways available for General Admission. Just show up; no tickets needed! Entry to most Summer for the City performances and events is available for FREE via General Admission—first-come, first-served. Learn more »

Free Fast Track

In addition to General Admission, we’re offering a FREE Fast Track option for the majority of Summer for the City events held at Damrosch Park, The Dance Floor, The Underground at Jaffe Drive, the David Rubenstein Atrium, and other select venues. Fast Track reservations are available every Monday at noon for that week's events!
• By booking Fast Track for events ahead of time, guests can access the Fast Track line at the venue which gives them priority entry to that event.
• While event admission is not guaranteed, Fast Track ticket holders will have priority over the General Admission line up until 10 minutes before show time (please note: show time for social dances on The Dance Floor is the start of the dance lesson). We recommend arriving an hour before show time to ensure entry into the event.
• Please check the event's dedicated web page to confirm if Fast Track is available for the performance you'd like to attend.

The festival is made possible by CHANEL.

Celebrate the fifth anniversary of the BAAND Together Dance Festival, as five of NYC’s most iconic dance companies—Ballet Hispánico, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, and Dance Theatre of Harlem—reunite on one stage from July 29–August 2. This is the rare chance to experience beloved programming curated collaboratively by the artistic directors of each company, including repertory favorites.

Program

Dance Theatre of Harlem – Nyman String Quartet No.2 by Robert Garland
Set to Michael Nyman’s String Quartet No.2, Robert Garland continues his signature exploration of the intersection of cultures that is contemporary America. Complex and witty, this sophisticated work shows off the unique capacity of the company’s artists to code-switch with abandon.

"This work is dedicated to the memory of two men whom I admire: John Wesley Carlos, former track and field medal winner at the 1968 Summer Olympics, well known for his triumphant salute upon the winners podium that year, and Dance Theatre of Harlem's Founder and Artistic Director Emeritus, Mr. Arthur Mitchell (1934-2018), whose similar stand for his people, his community, and the arts 'has brought us thus far on our way' (Lift Every Voice and Sing)" -Robert Garland

New York City Ballet – After the Rain (Pas de Deux) by Christopher Wheeldon
Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain premiered in 2005 at NYCB’s annual New Combinations Evening, which honors the anniversary of George Balanchine’s birth with world premiere ballets. The full ballet, which included a preceding section set to Arvo Pärt's Tabula Rasa, was the last ballet choreographed by Wheeldon for Wendy Whelan and Jock Soto before Soto’s retirement from performing later that year. The second section, presented tonight, is a haunting pas de deux set to Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater – Many Angels by Lar Lubovitch
The expression "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” is a question with no logical answer. "Why do you make dances?” is another. Occasionally something may exist in the world simply for the sake of itself—for example, a dance. Many Angels is a dance to music by Gustav Mahler. It is not really about angels. (Well, maybe a little.)

American Ballet Theatre – Midnight Pas by Susan Jaffe
Choreographed by American Ballet Theatre Artistic Director Susan Jaffe, Midnight Pas is an introspective and poetic duet, set to the adagio from Marcello Alessandro’s Oboe Concerto in D minor.

Ballet Hispánico – House of Mad’moiselle by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa
In House of Mad’moiselle, internationally acclaimed choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa brings iconic Latine female archetypes into motion. The piece sweeps through the commanding presence of femme fatales, the precise language of fans and boas, and the pulse of Latin dance—capturing a culture’s enduring captivation with its most glamorous and powerful women.
