Dear friends,
Your 2025-2026 Lincoln Center Presents season is here, an invitation to stand on the precipice of the present together and look toward futures that are yet undefined, while staying curious and ready for truths to be revealed. As we face a world that is complex and uncertain, we're gathering brave artists who offer us a way of both seeing our collective histories and articulating new possibilities.
This season, I hope you will find artistry that opens you up to your own purpose, connects you in unexpected ways to the people around you, and maybe even prompts you to discover your new favorite art form as an artist yourself. All our programs are free or Choose-What-You-Pay, allowing even more of our friends, neighbors, and visitors to share in these transformative experiences.
Bring your curiosity and an open heart. We'll do the rest.

EPIC INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS & INTIMATE PERFORMANCES
Lincoln Center Presents mainstage presentations offer dance, music, theater, comedy, and interdisciplinary performances by artists from around the globe.
This fall, contemporary dance takes the stage: Table of Silence Project 9/11 convenes 150 dancers for a free, public performance ritual and call to action for peace. And A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, one of the most inventive choreographers working today, returns with three electrifying pieces that bring movement into conversation with music from every genre. Tickets for A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, taking place Sept. 25-27, are on sale now.
The season continues with transformative works from virtuosic artists, including Philip Glass, Carrie Mae Weems, Pam Tanowitz, MC Lyte, and musicians from around the world at our globalFEST takeover.
SERIES & FESTIVALS
Each Lincoln Center Presents series delves deeply into one art form, one body of work, one theme, or one historic moment in time through performance.
All year, across campus, we celebrate the work of prolific theatrical composer and this season's Lincoln Center Visionary Artist Jeanine Tesori, with performances of Blue and Violet, community choirs and conversations, and more.
In October, the Legacies of San Juan Hill Festival shines a light on the historic neighborhood that once existed in the area where Lincoln Center stands today and celebrates its continuing artistic legacy with programs by Etienne Charles, Aaron Diehl, Stanley Nelson, Carlos Henriquez, and more.
In November, the audio avant-garde comes to New York from the Kraków-based Unsound Festival, including a performance with John Cale; in January, Under the Radar presents risk-taking theater; and in the spring, Artist-in-Residence Clint Ramos curates an exploration of the evolving landscape of American music and storytelling in our American Songbook series.
