The Lincoln Center Young Patrons summoned the Roaring ’20s with a two-tiered gala inside Weylin. For one night only, what you may know as the historic Williamsburg Savings Bank was transformed, with a swank speakeasy downstairs and a music-fueled party overhead—all designed to transport guests back to the Jazz Age.
Lincoln Center President Debora L. Spar; comedian, actress, and jazz musician Lea DeLaria; Sugartone Brass Band, a New Orleans–style second-line brass band; DJs Leigh Lezark, Geordon Nicol of The Misshapes; New York City–based artist collective WAFFLE; pianist Isaiah Thompson; dancer and choreographer Preeti Vasudevan; and violinist Filip Pogady.
Lincoln Center Young Patrons connects culturally minded New Yorkers in their 20s and 30s who celebrate, support, and promote the world’s leading performing arts center: Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Funds raised from the Young Patrons Gala support Lincoln Center’s arts education and audience development initiatives.
