The neighborhood’s clubs and theaters nurtured creative geniuses like James P. Johnson, Josephine Baker, Rogelio “Ram” Ramirez, and Thelonious Monk. Home to a largely working-class community, San Juan Hill was redlined in the 1930s and targeted by “urban renewal” in the 1940s and 1950s, when thousands of residents were displaced to make way for Amsterdam Houses, Lincoln Center, Fordham University, and additional developments. Their stories of home, belonging, and resilience have gone untold for far too long… until now. San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood, a documentary directed by Stanley Nelson and narrated by Ariana DeBose, traces the neighborhood’s rise and fall—and celebrates the people, arts, and culture whose enduring legacy still resonates today. Presented by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in association with Film at Lincoln Center. This film is made possible by support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. </video> <video> Explore a world of music at globalFEST! Description: globalFEST is back at Lincoln Center!

Kurek takes his cues from early music, baroque, and experimental jazz, entangling his influences with filigree traces of contemporary computer audio. Structured in seven distinct segments, the album blurs its acoustic and electronic elements into an illusory hedge of abstract sound. Kurek will perform his set with local musicians—Rebecca El-Saleh, Nathan Bellott, and Henry Fraser—on synths, guitar, bass, wind instruments and harp, with each player delicately intertwined into the Smartwoods. </video> <video> Gen Z Changemakers Summit Description: On July 15, 2024 DoSomething.org, Generation Citizen, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts came together to welcome civically minded and creative teens to an all-day program of workshops and collaboration.
