NEW YORK, NY.- Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts (LCPA) today announced its 25/26 season of programming, running September ‘25 through May ‘26. The slate for summer ’26 will be announced next spring.
The season complements the artistry of the ten organizations with which LCPA shares the Lincoln Center campus, reflects the global communities of New York City, and invests in the next generation of artists pushing the boundaries of their forms.
This robust year includes multidisciplinary mainstage presentations alongside beloved series that delve deeply into one genre or theme. Lincoln Center’s free and Choose-What-You-Pay programming welcomes audiences and artists from throughout New York City and around the world to a curated mix of large-scale international productions and intimate concerts featuring traditional artistry from across the globe and events that bring the arts into conversation with cutting-edge technology. A range of artist development initiatives support established and next-generation performing artists.
“We believe artists carry us forward in so many ways. They illuminate our individual lives, bring us together to appreciate one another, and encourage us to experience the world around us from angles we may never have otherwise considered,” said Shanta Thake, Ehrenkranz Chief Artistic Officer of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. “This season, we offer a range of productions, series, and artist development initiatives that speak to shared histories, joyful and complex presents, and futures that seemed impossible just a few years ago.”
Thake continued, “From the legendary Philip Glass, the incomparable Nona Hendryx, and this year’s Visionary Artist Jeanine Tesori to our Collider Fellows experimenting with art and technology in beautiful and compelling ways, we invite New Yorkers to join us for a season of joy, contemplation, connection, and innovation.”
“We are proud to hold space for so many ambitious and visionary artists this season, inviting us to find community and imagine collective futures together,” said Mariko Silver, President and CEO of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. “Artists are essential leaders in our society. They help us learn about ourselves and those around us in profound and transformative ways. We invite all New Yorkers and visitors to this great city to join us this season.”
Lincoln Center’s 25/26 Season activates spaces across the campus. All tickets are free or Choose-What-You-Pay. Tickets for fall presentations go on sale Wednesday, September 10.
