Sundays, July 9-August 13, 8:00 p.m.
The Museum of Modern Art established Summergarden in 1971 to enhance the artistic life of New York City during the summer. In keeping with MoMA's history of presenting jazz and classical music in The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, this year's Summergarden series welcomes the participation of two constituents from Lincoln Center—The Juilliard School and Jazz at Lincoln Center—with concerts on alternating Sundays. New Music for New York presents six evenings of adventurous contemporary music, with premieres each night.
Juilliard concerts are performed by current students and recent graduates of the Juilliard School, under the artistic direction of Joel Sachs, who has assembled three distinctive programs of contemporary compositions, all of which are enjoying their New York, United States, or world premieres. Jazz at Lincoln Center selected three leading jazz artists whose concerts will emphasize original works, with at least one world premiere.
Admission to Summergarden is free. Chairs are limited and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Admittance to the Sculpture Garden is subject to close if attendance reaches maximum capacity. Entrance is through the Garden gate on Fifty-fourth Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues. The Garden opens at 7:00 p.m. and concerts start at 8:00 p.m.
In the event of rain, concerts will be held indoors in the Agnes Gund Garden Lobby. The entrance is also on Fifty-fourth Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues and doors open later, at 7:30 p.m.
