Dear Friends,
There is a particular kind of magic that can only happen when people gather together. These moments of encounter, driven by some of the most compelling artists of our time, are at the heart of Lincoln Center's 2026–2027 season.
This season is an invitation to connect—to artists, to one another, and to the experiences that remind us why the performing arts matter so deeply in our lives. You'll find opportunities not simply to attend, but to participate—to become part of something larger than yourself. This season celebrates the extraordinary possibilities that emerge when artists and audiences meet.
Whether you're a lifelong arts lover or a curious newcomer, there is a place for you here. All our programs are free of charge or Choose-What-You-Pay, creating access for even more of our friends, neighbors, and visitors to meet and share in these transformative experiences.
We welcome you to come closer this season—to discover something unexpected, encounter artists and ideas that stay with you long after the performance ends, and experience the power of coming together through live art.
Warmly,
Shanta Thake
Ehrenkranz Chief Artistic Officer
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
