Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
Category: Performing Arts
It was built during Robert Moses' program of urban renewal in the 1960s, by a consortium led by, and under the initiative of, John D. Rockefeller 3rd.
It was the first gathering of major cultural institutions into a centralized location in a United States city, and is located between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues and between West 62nd and 66th Streets on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Lincoln Center cultural institutions also make use of facilities located away from the main campus. In 2004 Lincoln Center was expanded through the addition of Jazz at Lincoln Center's newly built facilities (Frederick P. Rose Hall) at the new Time Warner Center, located a few blocks to the south.
Lincoln Center special event presentations (also called "Lincoln Center Presents") include American Songbook, Great Performers, Lincoln Center Festival, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, Midsummer Night Swing, the Mostly Mozart Festival, and the Emmy Award-winning Live From Lincoln Center.
