TO FULFILL THE CENTER'S MISSION OF "PROVIDING THE RESIDENTS OF THE BRONX AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WITH ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE, CULTURALLY DIVERSE MUSIC, DANCE AND THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES THAT ENTERTAIN, EDUCATE, AND INSPIRE" THE LINEUP OF EVENTS IS REFLECTIVE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S NEEDS. OF THE TOTAL POPULATION IN THE BRONX, 56% OF PEOPLE IDENTIFY AS HISPANIC SO HAVING A ROBUST LATIN MUSIC SERIES HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PRIORITY FOR THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. IN ITS TENURE LEHMAN CENTER HAS PRESENTED SOME OF THE GREATEST NAMES IN LATIN MUSIC, INCLUDING CELIA CRUZ, EL GRAN COMBO, RUBN BLADES, VICTOR MANUEL, EDDIE PALMIERI, WILLIE COLON AND VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE "HOME GROWN" FAMILY OF FANIA RECORDS, CELEBRATING ONE OF NEW YORK'S MOST BELOVED CONTRIBUTIONS TO WORLD MUSIC - SALSA! IN ADDITION TO THESE WELL-LOVED LATIN MUSIC EVENTS, LEHMAN CENTER IS DEDICATED TO BRINGING IN ARTISTS WHO MIGHT NOT NORMALLY PERFORM ON A STAGE IN THE HEART OF THE BRONX. THIS BALANCE OF POPULAR FARE ALONGSIDE GREAT CLASSICS IS WHAT MAKES THE CULTURAL VISION OF THE CENTER SO SPECIAL. CLASSICAL ENSEMBLES AND PERFORMERS INCLUDE THE LONDON PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, THE VIENNA BOYS CHOIR, ISAAC STERN, RUDOLF NUREYEV, YO YO MA, MILES DAVIS, RAY CHARLES, B.B. KING, CHUCK BERRY, MUMMENSCHANZ, AND THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET.WHEN REOPENING THE CENTER IN 2021, AFTER THE 15-MONTH SHUTDOWN IN 2020, IT BECAME A PRIORITY TO BRANCH OUT AND CREATE A SEASON THAT WAS RICH WITH CULTURE WHILE DELIVERING SOMETHING THAT COULD GET PEOPLE EXCITED AGAIN! THIS DEVELOPED INTO UNIQUE COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE AREA. THE FIRST COLLABORATION WAS AN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL RESIDENCY WITH THE WESTCHESTER BALLET COMPANY IN THEIR RENDITION OF THE NUTCRACKER. THIS BALLET IS PART OF A LONGSTANDING TRADITION TO OFFER STIMULATING, FAMILY FRIENDLY, CLASSICAL BALLET CONCERTS DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. THIS PARTNERSHIP IS A PROUD MOMENT FOR LEHMAN CENTER TO EXPAND THEIR TYPICAL AUDIENCE BASE IN THE BRONX UPWARDS INTO WESTCHESTER COUNTY. FROM 2021 LEHMAN CENTER CONTINUES ITS COLLABORATION WITH THEM PRESENTING THE NUTCRACKER EACH DECEMBER. THE SECOND COLLABORATION INCLUDED COLLABORATION WITH MANHATTAN BASED JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER.LEHMAN CENTER CONTINUES TO BUILD ITS VISIBILITY AND REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE.
