Performance | The Ocean Etched in the Forest: Pulitzer Prize-Winner's Work Exploring Ancient Tradition & Modern Methodology (with Open Captioning)


A work from the composer and performer Du Yun. Born in China and currently based in New York City, Du Yun's insatiable curiosity finds new voice in The Ocean Etched in the Forest. Over the past several years, Du Yun and her collaborator Julian Crouch have worked closely with Jino artists from Yunnan province, including He Guiying, the national inheritor of his people's unique heritage. Living almost entirely isolated from urban society until 1979, the Jino people have maintained their distinct culture and ecologically grounded mindset amid rampant modernization. In collaboration with Du Yun and Crouch, Guiying has been recording Jino children from Bapiao Village as they perform nearly forgotten local folk songs. These recordings, merged with music from Du Yun's band OK MISS and live theatrical elements, form Ocean's original musical tapestry for a concert that transcends time and geography. Attendees encounter a work that highlights the intersections of ancient tradition and modern methodology, folk tales and contemporary storytelling, and generations living and gone. Relaxed performance.

Workshop | Embroidery with Social Commentary Workshop: Slow, Shared Practice


Artist Cinthya Santos-Briones invites you to participate in a collective embroidery workshop and stitching circle that explores contemporary narratives of migration in the United States. Participants will embroider phrases drawn from news reports, headlines, and press archives related to the current anti-immigrant political climate. Through the slow, shared practice of embroidery, the group will transform words designed for immediate media consumption into a space for dialogue, critical reflection, and collective witness. Inspired by Chilean arpilleras, Mexico’s Bordados por la Paz collectives, and other Latin American practices that have used textiles to denounce state violence and forced disappearances, the project approaches embroidery as a tool for memory, collective witness, and community repair. The workshop will be co-facilitated by María José Prudente, a Mixtec Indigenous embroiderer, language rights advocate, attorney, and interpreter in immigration courts. All materials will be provided, and no prior embroidery experience is required. The workshop will be bilingual (Spanish and English).

Classical Music | Discussion on the Future of Orchestral Music at a Major Concert Hall (+ Orchestral Works by Poulenc & More)


An inside look at the lives of orchestral musicians and insights into the evening's concert program. In this pre-concert talk, Erin Lunsford Norton (Associate Director, Classical Programming) and her guests explore the many ways composers and musicians inspire each other to move orchestral music forward. The three composers on the evening's program (Debussy, de Falla, and Poulenc) intersected with and inspired each others' music in profound ways. Together everyone will explore how these kinds of musical intersections and relationships in our modern world continue to fuel the development of orchestral music, and push it in exciting new directions. This event will begin with members of the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center playing a selection from Francis Poulenc's Trio for Oboe, Bassoon, and Piano and Lili Boulanger's Cortege.

Dance Performance | Hip-Hop & Kung Fu Dance Battle


For this live performance, China-based dance squads versed in the vernacular language of both b-boy swag and martial arts rigor meet for a costumed dance showcase with performers dressed in both traditional Chinese cultural apparel and contemporary style.

This workshop invites participants to discover the stories, traditions, and ingredients behind some of Korea's most beloved street foods while exploring the culture that has helped make K-Food a global phenomenon.

Performance | The Ocean Etched in the Forest: Pulitzer Prize-Winner's Work Exploring Ancient Tradition & Modern Methodology (with Open Captioning)


A work from the composer and performer Du Yun. Born in China and currently based in New York City, Du Yun's insatiable curiosity finds new voice in The Ocean Etched in the Forest. Over the past several years, Du Yun and her collaborator Julian Crouch have worked closely with Jino artists from Yunnan province, including He Guiying, the national inheritor of his people's unique heritage. Living almost entirely isolated from urban society until 1979, the Jino people have maintained their distinct culture and ecologically grounded mindset amid rampant modernization. In collaboration with Du Yun and Crouch, Guiying has been recording Jino children from Bapiao Village as they perform nearly forgotten local folk songs. These recordings, merged with music from Du Yun's band OK MISS and live theatrical elements, form Ocean's original musical tapestry for a concert that transcends time and geography. Attendees encounter a work that highlights the intersections of ancient tradition and modern methodology, folk tales and contemporary storytelling, and generations living and gone.

Workshop | Making Upcycled Sun Catchers with a Professional Artist in the Park


This drop-in class invites participants to explore creativity through hands-on artmaking in the park. All materials are provided. At this event, Participants enhance the flower-like form of the plastic bottle by decorating with paint pens and adding beads, creating a sun-catcher to hang in a window at home. Lenore Solmo is a self-taught mixed-media artist who, after decades in the fashion industry, committed her practice to making art from found objects. Solmo rescues discarded plastic bottles before they join the tons of plastic flowing into our oceans, transforming them into sea creatures, oysters, and fashion accessories. Plastic bottles and vintage beads from her archives become symbols of coastal opulence — mirroring New York Harbor's history, where waters once filtered through living oyster reefs now circulate plastic debris instead. Her work resurrects a collision between luxury and litter.

A performance from Hanggai, an eight-member folk ensemble that mixes the ancient traditional art of Khoomei throat singing with contemporary punk, emo, and metal rock.

Over the past 15 years, the band has toured on six continents and released seven albums, including their debut Introducing Hanggai, which Pitchfork called "transcendently powerful," and their most recent LP, 2024's Wheel of Fortune. This versatile group has also collaborated with The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and starred in the Chinese TV talent competition Sing My Song. There are two ways to access this event: 1.

Dance Performance | DownBeat's "Jazz's Premier Tap Dancer" Performs


Celebrated dancer, musician, improviser, choreographer, and educator Michela Marino Lerman performs alongside special guests she has personally curated. This evening centers live music, tap dance as a musical form, and culturally rooted improvisation, with an emphasis on community, legacy, and New York-based artistry. Recognized by DownBeat as "jazz's premier tap dancer" and described by The New York Times as "an outstanding jazz musician," Lerman is known for her dynamic, deeply musical approach to tap--positioning the form not only as dance, but as a vital language of jazz. Mentored by tap legends including Gregory Hines, Buster Brown, Leroy Myers, and Mable Lee, Lerman brings to the stage an artistic vision grounded in tradition and propelled by innovation. Across the residency, she will perform in dialogue with her guests, with each event highlighting a distinct theme while reflecting Lerman's lifelong commitment to rhythm, collaboration, and the ever-evolving spirit of tap.
