Lincoln Center, Yo La Tengo, & Cyndi Lauper

"The world's largest arts mecca has grown artistically from the symphonic music, opera, ballet and theater that were its bedrock when it opened in the 1960s to today's embrace of every style from Handel to hip-hop.

Web-based technology is being used to lure new audiences to such acts as the indie rock band Yo La Tengo, who will perform at a May concert while screens flash underwater footage by oceanographer Jean Painleve. In July, audiences can catch Senegalese rappers Daara J.

And for the first time in its history, Lincoln Center will celebrate gay pride week with a variety of events in June starring Patti Labelle, Cyndi Lauper, Mario Cantone, Charles Busch and others"

Stepping into the 21st century, Lincoln Center attracts new audiences and new acts
