“This season will be a microcosm of what today’s artists are playing and creating, and what advancements are being made in our field,” said Amy Lam, Vice President, Tisch Music, 92NY. “As a global center for culture, we design our programming to provide music lovers in New York and around the world with a renewed sense of discovery in their cultural experiences. From looking at music history through the lens of social change to world premiere compositions at the forefront of multiple genres, this season’s programming will encourage audiences to both think about and listen to music differently.”
“This year marks multiple turning points for us. During the pandemic, we pivoted to embrace digital technologies that introduced us to millions of new patrons from all 50 states and over 200 countries around the world,” said Seth Pinsky, Chief Executive Officer of 92NY. “Now a global institution, we have reintroduced ourselves to the world with a new brand identity, 92NY, embracing the city that we call home. And now, we are undertaking a renovation of one of our main public performance spaces, Buttenwieser Hall, which will be completed by fall.”
The planned renovations of Buttenwieser Hall include restoration work and installation of new retractable stage and seating systems, as well as movable wings, improved acoustics and a new open plan lobby. The upgraded hall will host six concerts during the 22/23 Tisch Music Season, including two debut recitals and four innovative, contemporary music concerts. And as part of 92NY’s ongoing commitment to digital programming, more than 30 concerts in the upcoming season will be livestreamed with a 3 day on-demand viewing period available for audiences worldwide.
