Dear Friends,

Every year brings its own set of special Lincoln Center moments, and this past year they certainly included these:

— Renée and Robert Belfer Music Director Louis Langrée marked the downbeat for the opening of the 48th Mostly Mozart Festival and the excitement in Avery Fisher Hall was palpable;

— Hundreds of children and their parents in Brooklyn and Queens got their first exposure to Lincoln Center in their neighborhood libraries by watching HD broadcasts of past performances;

— The stylized drama and compelling stories of Kabuki theater transcended time and culture in Lincoln Center Festival’s presentation of Japan’s Heisei Nakamura-za troupe;

— The adventurous JACK Quartet performed in complete darkness during the White Light Festival;

— LaGuardia High School students relaxed on the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Lawn using free Wi-Fi;

— The smooth transition of leadership as Jed Bernstein became Lincoln Center’s ninth president.

It is all part of the Lincoln Center experience, an experience as varied as the performing arts themselves, and one that continues to reach more people in geographically diverse locations in new ways. Reaffirming the power of the arts by making great art available for all has never been more critical. We are using expanded arts education, outdoor festivals, family-oriented programs, and other creative options to get people of all ages and backgrounds excited about how the arts and Lincoln Center can enrich their lives. While this excellence goes on year-around on our 16-acre campus, we are also enthusiastically reaching out to other New York City neighborhoods with multifaceted family and community-based programs. At the same time, we delight in presenting the superb live performances that for many are the heart of Lincoln Center.

Our physical heart is the magnificently transformed campus. From the openness of the new architecture and landscaping to the visitor amenities, the new campus welcomes not only concert-goers, but families, neighbors, students, and visitors from around the world.

Arts education—bringing the arts to students of all ages, anywhere, anytime—is embedded in Lincoln Center’s DNA. Over the course of more than four decades, Lincoln Center Education (LCE) has reached more than 20 million students, educators, parents, and teachers from around the world. Each year, thousands of students come to our campus for classes and for special experiences, like a backstage visit with members of the Bolshoi Ballet. We are extremely proud that for the first time this summer, LCE partnered with New York City’s Department of Education and Hunter College to launch the Lincoln Center Scholars Alternative Certification Program. This is a fast-track initiative

Jed Bernstein and Katherine Farley

to prepare, certify, and place much-needed, highly qualified music, dance, theater, and visual arts teachers in New York City’s public schools.

Helping families engage with the performing arts is a long-term investment both in their own lives, and in the future of Lincoln Center; the young families we reach today are more likely to fill our halls in years ahead.

This summer’s Lincoln Center Out of Doors season, with more than 100 events, was rich in family-friendly productions and free activities. Multiple generations enjoyed the Deep Roots of Rock & Roll concert and Baby Loves Disco, a dance party for toddlers and their parents. These programs were offered free, along with weekly Target® Free Thursdays and monthly Meet the Artist Saturdays in the David Rubenstein Atrium. We will be launching Family-Linc and other initiatives in the coming months.

We are also expanding our use of digital technology to connect Lincoln Center with an ever-widening audience. During Lincoln Center Out of Doors, a quarter of a million people enjoyed our live concerts, and tens of thousands more watched our live streams of the memorial tribute concert to Pete and Toshi Seeger, and of performances by artists like Cassandra Wilson and Rosanne Cash. We look forward to significantly increasing the amount of digital content available to viewers, as well as building a mobile-centric website and fully digitizing our campus.

This year is also a time to look back with pride at another successful season of Live From Lincoln Center, the iconic series on PBS that brings the best of Lincoln Center performances to a national audience. Each program reinforces Lincoln Center’s role as the world’s preeminent performing arts center. We look forward to celebrating the 40th anniversary of this award-winning series in the coming year.

Lincoln Center Festival once again brought major performances featuring great artists from around the world to New York this summer. This treasury of talent included the 340 members of the Bolshoi Ballet, Opera, Orchestra, and Chorus, who combined forces for a two-week run at Lincoln Center. The Sydney Theatre Company brought us a memorable production of Jean Genet’s The Maids, starring renowned actresses Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert. Other highlights are detailed in this annual report.

World class programming, of course, is not produced without cost. In the months ahead, we will be intensifying our search for new corporate partnerships that leverage the power of the Lincoln Center brand. Lincoln Center Global, our international consulting practice, helps raise additional dollars beyond the generous support of our donors. This practice arose from our mission to sustain, encourage, and promote the performing arts around the globe.

Given the dynamic changes always underway within the arts and within this great institution, we know the Lincoln Center experience will continue to expand and evolve in the years ahead. But our mission of providing the best possible performances and arts education will also continue, stronger than ever.

Confidence in the future is rooted in the ongoing support from our donors, our friends in the public sector, our superb performers, dedicated staff, and the countless members of the Lincoln Center family over its 55-year history. It also reflects the outstanding contributions of Reynold Levy, who stepped down as president at the end of January after 12 years of service. We thank him, and all of you, for being part of the wonderful community known as Lincoln Center.

Sincerely,

Katherine Farley Jed Bernstein Chair President

Lincoln Center

This summer, the outdoor plazas of Lincoln Center were alive with free performances for enthusiastic audiences.

Lincoln Center Lincoln Center6 7Lincoln Center 7

The sheer diversity of the 2013–14 season showcased the unparalleled range of presentations that can only be found at Lincoln Center.

Great Performers rolled out a wealth of outstanding experiences for audiences. Enthusiastic concertgoers chose from ensembles that featured a New York premiere with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the vibrant baton of Gustavo Dudamel, and pianist Emanuel Ax with the London Symphony Orchestra led by Bernard Haitink, as well as chamber music by the Emerson String Quartet with its new cellist Paul Watkins, and virtuoso piano recitals by Murray Perahia, and the seldom-heard Brazilian master, Nelson Freire. Music lovers also flocked to a sold-out art song film series that included rare footage of such extraordinary artists as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Christa Ludwig.

American Songbook continued to widen its reach with a free opening night concert in the David Rubenstein Atrium. The 2014 season featured appearances by Broadway’s Porgy and Bess baritone Norm Lewis, country star Jason Isbell, and Tony Award winner Patina Miller in the stunning Appel Room, and its concerts from the intimate Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse were live-streamed.

The White Light Festival resumed its survey of music’s power to illuminate one’s inner life. Exploring the intersection of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions, Jordi Savall brought his ensemble to Alice Tully Hall for the New York premiere of The Cycles of Life. Bach’s own St. Thomas Boys Choir of Leipzig made its first U.S. appearance since the year 2000, and Italian soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci gave the acclaimed U.S. premiere of Era la Notte, a one-woman staged concert portraying passionate 17th-century female characters. Concertgoers again enjoyed mingling with the artists at post-concert White Light Lounges.

Midsummer Night Swing took over the dance floor with 15 nights of swing, salsa, hustle, tango, samba, and more under the stars in Damrosch Park. Thousands of happy feet of all ages and backgrounds came together to shimmy, shake, and boogaloo to live music from the best bands to be found. A 1920s vintage fashion costume competition and the Sixth Annual Ambassador Prize Lindy Hop contest were part of the fun, along with the return of the popular after-hours Silent Disco, where music can only be heard through headphones.

The Mostly Mozart Festival‘s Renée and Robert Belfer Music Director Louis Langrée led 9 concerts in 2014. Some 35 events enhanced the festival’s broad exploration of its namesake genius with the New York premiere of Mark Morris’s Acis and Galatea, world-class violinists Christian Tetzlaff and Joshua Bell, and a focus on the music of Handel, including a performance of his opera Teseo by the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra.

Lincoln Center Festival 2014 hosted a banner 19th season. A limited run of Sydney Theatre Company’s The Maids starring Cate Blanchett, Isabelle Huppert, and Elizabeth Debicki beat all Broadway records this season for the highest weekly gross for a straight play. A two-week, sold-out engagement of the Bolshoi Ballet included two performances by the Bolshoi Opera of The Tsar’s Bride in a stunning in-concert presentation. David Pountney’s production of The Passenger, Mieczysław Weinberg’s eagerly awaited masterpiece featuring the Houston Grand Opera, was seen in an unusual staging at the Park Avenue Armory. The return of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s Belgian dance group Rosas, and Japan’s Heisei Nakamura-za rounded out a stellar international summer arts experience.

Lincoln Center Out of Doors has filled our plazas with hundreds of free music, dance, and theater performances every summer for 43 years. The 2014 season was highlighted by Americanafest NYC, a week-long celebration of country, soul, gospel, and roots music with icons Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris, three live-stream events including a memorial concert for Pete and Toshi Seeger—featuring Judy Collins, Harry Belafonte, and Tom Chapin—and the world premiere of John Luther Adams’s Sila: The Breath of the World, a site-specific work on Hearst Plaza for 80 musicians, created for Lincoln Center’s renovated campus and commissioned by Lincoln Center Out of Doors and the Mostly Mozart Festival.Japan’s illustrious Heisei Nakamura-za Kabuki company returned to Lincoln Center

Festival with a thrilling production of a 19th-century ghost story, Kaidan Chibusa no Enoki (The Ghost Tale of the Wet Nurse Tree).

Lincoln Center Lincoln Center26 27Lincoln Center Lincoln Center26 27

Over the past year, Lincoln Center has been dynamically connected to its neighborhood as well as to a global community via multiple digital and broadcast channels. And while we’re making ample use of technology to bring the arts to those unable to visit in person, Lincoln Center is increasingly bringing new audiences to its campus with free or low-cost community-oriented programs.

One of these initiatives was the first-ever Dancing in Damrosch event, which invited people of all ages and skill sets to kick up their heels for two nights of free swing and salsa dancing under a huge tent in Damrosch Park. That was followed by another first at Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park in Queens: a free Lincoln Center Local Silent Disco, where only the dancers can hear the music through the wireless headphones provided. Top DJs and leading dance instructors were on hand at both events to make sure everyone stepped out in style. We’ve made a commitment to present these events in every borough in 2015.

Lincoln Center Local traveled beyond our campus with four new and expanded programs. During the 2013–14 season, Lincoln Center Local Live brought live hour-long performances of music, dance, and theater to 14 community libraries in Brooklyn and Queens, culminating in a special presentation chosen by audience vote and live-streamed from the David Rubenstein Atrium. New in 2014, Lincoln Center Local in HD used resources from the expanding digital library of top Lincoln Center concerts to reach underserved communities in the New York metro area. Programming was streamed to six public library branches for free, and all events included experiential workshops to fully engage audiences. A third arm of Lincoln Center Local is its work in New York City shelters, which took performances and a healthy snack to women and children removed from abusive situations. And finally, Lincoln Center Local brought live performances, teaching workshops, and lively Q & A sessions to senior centers and hospitals in four City boroughs.

The second season of Poet-Linc, Lincoln Center’s free poetry slam series supporting literacy in New York City, showcased talented teenage poets from all five boroughs in spirited performances at the David Rubenstein Atrium. This year’s young Grand Slam Champion poet, who came from the High School for Fashion Industries in the Bronx, was selected at the Atrium’s Target Free Thursdays Poet-Linc final competition and moved on to perform in the NYC Poet Laureate contest. All participants attended free educational workshops, and their works were published in the 2014 Poet-Linc Anthology.

Also free at the Atrium, JustFilms at AtriumFlix reached out to film buffs in a series focused on documentaries and narrative films with a message of social justice. Presented in partnership with the Ford Foundation, screenings also offered conversations with the featured filmmaker, including acclaimed directors Steve James of Hoop Dreams and Mario Van Peebles of Baadasssss! in 2014.

Perhaps less visible but very much connected to our role in the community is our Veterans Initiative. In partnership with Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, The Mission Continues, Wounded Warrior Project, the Veteran Artists Program, and the USO, Lincoln Center offers a significant Veterans Initiative providing free tickets to Lincoln Center performances, social events with other members of the veterans’ community, and job opportunities at Lincoln Center for returning combat veterans.

Dancers bopped at Lincoln Center Local’s Silent Disco in Hunter’s Point South Park, Long Island City, where participants danced to a private playlist heard only through the headphones provided.

Kids get up close and personal with performers at a Meet the Artist program in the Walter Reade Theater.

Historically, one in three New York City public school students doesn’t complete their studies. According to a recent NEA study, students are five times more likely to graduate if they have arts enrichment in the classroom. Lincoln Center Education’s (LCE) commitment to outreach is a strong endorsement of that study. Overall, LCE hosts more than 25,000 students from more than 200 New York area schools on campus, even more at local schools and libraries, and tens of thousands more nationally and internationally. Based on the belief that imagination, innovation, and perseverance can lead to more effective problem solving, LCE doesn’t just teach kids to learn an art form. Rather, it exposes them to all art forms to teach them how to think like artists.

One of the most meaningful recent additions to LCE’s vision is the Lincoln Center Scholars Program. This groundbreaking plan will train and place top-quality dance, music, theater, and visual arts teachers in up to 120 New York City public schools in need of adequate arts programs. Created in partnership with Hunter College and the New York City Department of Education (DOE), and underwritten by a $1.5 million grant from the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, the program positions Lincoln Center as the nation’s only performing arts organization to work with a higher education institution in the creation of an alternative certification path for arts educators.

The Middle School Arts Audition Boot Camp, a free two-week program at Lincoln Center in partnership with the New York City Department of Education (DOE), designed for students of Title 1 public middle schools, marked another first. This intensive, ten-session program, supported by the DOE and facilitated by DOE teachers in collaboration with teaching artists from Lincoln Center’s resident organizations, coached students in dance, theater, music and the visual arts as they prepare to audition for highly-competitive arts high schools across New York City. The Boot Camp is designed to level the playing field for students with low resources wanting admission into some of the city’s most desirable high schools.

2014 also saw a total revamping of LCE’s internationally renowned Summer Workshops, now renamed Summer Forum. In response, 211 participants came from as far away as China and Finland for two weeks in July. The Forum featured keynotes by top speakers—including Lincoln Center president Jed Bernstein—panels by leaders on topics from digital education to video game design, and performances from LCE repertory and Lincoln Center Festival. An entirely new Teaching Artist Training Program was added as well.

LCE’s longstanding Meet the Artist series brought more than 14,000 students to four different venues on campus for 82 performances, tours, and kid-friendly discussion, in addition to Meet the Artist Saturdays, a community program that offered free family events in the David Rubenstein Atrium for another 2,400 people. Our Teaching Artists work on-site in more than 60 schools helping teachers to use LCE learning strategies in their classrooms, and New Visions for Public Schools incorporates LCE teaching practices curriculum-wide in all six of its currently operating charter schools.

A special memorial concert for Pete and Toshi Seeger was live-streamed worldwide with artists including (L-R) Reggie Harris, Selah Eric Spruiell, Roland Moussa, Holly Near, Marcelle Davis Lashley, and Tom Chapin.

Lincoln Center connects

The tools of 21st-century technology enable Lincoln Center to connect more immediately to the world at large. We can now do more than present the arts on campus—we can capture and digitally transmit it, extending the reach of Lincoln Center to audiences far and wide.

Lincoln Center at the Movies is one step in that direction. This past June, we brought an exclusive engagement of Lincoln Center Theater’s hit Broadway production of Douglas Carter Beane’s drama The Nance—headlined by two-time Tony Award-winning actor Nathan Lane—to more than 300 movie theaters in the U.S. and Canada. The show, about a homosexual burlesque actor living in the dangerously secretive gay world of 1930s New York, ran during Gay Pride Week in many cities.

Live From Lincoln Center continued its pioneering broadcast series of world-class performances to arts lovers across the U.S. This season, five new programs ranged from the glittering Richard Tucker Opera Gala to American Songbook evenings with Broadway stars and New Year’s Eve at the New York Philharmonic with world-class cellist Yo-Yo Ma. New in 2014, a number of Live From Lincoln Center telecasts from Lincoln Center’s growing digital library were streamed to public library branches in Queens and Brooklyn free of charge. The project is expected to expand to all five boroughs in the future.

We also expanded our popular free live-stream series with American Songbook concerts from the Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse, and performances by the chart-topping Americana singers Emmylou Harris and Rosanne Cash, live from Damrosch Park, as part of Lincoln Center Out of Doors. In addition, the series featured an all-star memorial concert for Pete and Toshi Seeger. The event hosted an online sing-along for cyber audiences to raise their voices in a unison tribute by countless fans around the world. In total, ten programs were live-streamed to thousands of people around the world, and subsequently made available online on demand.

Another way that Lincoln Center takes excellence in the arts beyond its physical walls is through Lincoln Center Global, a cultural and educational consulting practice. Drawing on Lincoln Center’s more than 50 years of operational and artistic experience, Lincoln Center Global advises government, corporate, educational, and institutional leaders and philanthropists worldwide in planning, building, and operating vibrant arts facilities, programs, and cultural districts. Projects to date have included engagements with two Ivy League universities, a major real estate development in Tianjin, China, a performance venue in Tokyo, an arts and education campus and concert hall in Arizona, and a new performing arts center in Spain. Lincoln Center Global has also established Lincoln Center University, a customized workshop training program for arts managers.

These initiatives are an integral part of the dedicated efforts that have made Lincoln Center a local, national, and international destination for the performing arts.

The American Songbook gala honored Bryan Lourd with special performances by (L–R) Allison Williams, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Anne Hathaway.

Lincoln Center thanks

If, as Shakespeare wrote, “all the world’s a stage,” then Lincoln Center is certainly a major player. But we can only sustain that stature with the assistance of the many generous individuals, corporations, foundations, and government agencies recognized on the following pages.

We need your help to remain an international destination of artistic excellence for the more than 5 million visitors and thousands of internationally celebrated artists who come here every year. Philanthropic support from you—as well as public funding from key civic leaders, bequests, and in-kind contributions—is essential to fulfilling our mission.

It is the dedicated commitment of our donors that enables Lincoln Center to broaden community outreach with support for free programs like JustFilms at AtriumFlix, Poet-Linc, Meet the Artist Saturdays, and Lincoln Center Out of Doors. Contributions also bring Lincoln Center performances free of charge to schools and public libraries across the City through Lincoln Center Local. And we could not do without the generous assistance that allows us to continue presenting the rich range and extraordinary quality of performances offered on Lincoln Center’s stages.

The stirring images throughout this book mirror the world-class programming and exceptional events made possible by your charitable gifts. Donors to Lincoln Center’s Bravo Campaign have made our renovated physical campus an enticing locale for New York City residents and visitors alike.

Thank you for your support.
