Pride Events in Lincoln Square

Not only is June Pride Month in NYC, but this year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and coincides with NYC being chosen as the destination for World Pride 2019. It's an exciting month to be in the City! Here in Lincoln Square, several events will commemorate the month-long celebration of Pride. 

Tharp Trio; American Ballet Theater, The Metropolitan Opera 

Thursday, May 30 - Monday, June 3
Few choreographers have had as profound an impact on American dance as Twyla Tharp. In these three acts, classic ballet mixes with modern forms, showing why Tharp is considered a master of movement. This variety is supported by the classic scores of Brahms and Haydn, the chill vibes of 1960s beach rock, and the compelling modern aesthetic of Phillip Glass.

John Corigliano's Symphony No. 1; New York Philharmonic, David Geffen Hall

Thursday, May 30 & Saturday, June 1

Experience John Corigliano's personal dedication to loved ones lost and the many impacted by the widespread AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. Jaap van Zweden conducts and is joined by Pianist David Fray for Mozart's introspective Piano Concerto No. 24. Panels from the Nobel Peace Prize-nominated AIDS Memorial Quilt - inscribed with the names of AIDS victims by audience members at the 1992 Philharmonic performances of John Corigliano's First Symphony - will be on display in the lobby of David Geffen Hall during these performances, which are part of the official celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, under the auspices of the Stonewall 50 Consortium.
