The Lincoln Center: An Enchanting Hub Of Performing Arts

The New York Philharmonic is just one of many performing arts residents at the iconic Lincoln Center. Come for the symphonies. But come back often to explore all the immersive artistic performances.

The center is home to many resident arts organizations such as The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Metropolitan Opera and New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.

Experience The Appel Room

(formerly known as the Allen Room)

While every concert hall at the Lincoln Center is impressive, the medium-sized amphitheater known as the Allen Room is a true gem. Here, you’ll peer through a 50-by-90-foot wall of sheer glass at the beauties of the Manhattan skyline and Central Park. The acoustics are equally breathtaking. And this amphitheater seats just over 400 guests, adding to the more intimate feel. 

The Contributions Of The Chamber Music Society

The Chamber Music Society takes up residency in Alice Tully Hall, noted for its acoustic suitability for chamber music. This society performs, but it also educates and entertains with broadcast activities. As a result, this talented group attracts more audiences to chamber music than any other organization like it.

The Underground ‘Summer For The City’

The Underground is literally “underground,” situated below the Lincoln Center. The Festival Orchestra’s 2024 program has just been announced, with pre-sales and general sales coming up in May. The ensemble brings together world-class musicians, including brilliant soloists and chamber musicians.
