  • Annual Report Highlights a Moment from This Past Year Where the Strength of Our Community Was Made Manifest
    2015/16 Our Impact 2015/16 p. 4 Our Programs & Festivals p. 36 Our Friends & Finances p. 50 Noureddin Khourchid, Al Nabolsy Ensemble, and the Whirling Dervishes of Damascus traveled from Syria to perform at the second annual Global Exchange on September 15, 2016 —receiving a standing ovation from the crowd at Alice Tully Hall. Lincoln Center 3 Dear Friends: This year, the extraordinary artistry of Lincoln Center reached more people than ever before. We have significantly grown our network of community partners, audiences, corporate sponsors, and generous individual supporters. Together, we have amplified the power of our outreach work, bringing younger audiences, students, and underserved communities into the Lincoln Center family. The cover of our Annual Report highlights a moment from this past year where the strength of our community was made manifest. On a hot August afternoon, 3,000 people came together on campus for the world premiere of David Lang’s epic choral work, the public domain. Nearly 1,000 volunteer singers from all walks of life rehearsed throughout the summer for one rapturous performance based on the idea that we are all part of a global community—one that is best unified through the arts. The New York Times called it “a great day to be a New Yorker.” What could better reflect the mission of Lincoln Center? In 2015–16, Lincoln Center’s 11 constituents collaborated in new and exciting ways, demonstrating the synergies only possible at the world’s premier performing arts center. Numerous collaborative projects, performances, and special events delighted audiences, from the New York Philharmonic’s co-presentation with Lincoln Center of The Importance of Being Earnest to a special exhibit at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts exploring 50 years of the Mostly Mozart Festival.
