About the 92nd Street Y
Jewish culture has an intellectual character that is very influential in American life.
Celebrating its 150th year in 2023, 92nd Street Y, New York has grown into one of New York’s sacred cultural spaces ~ because of the calibre of artists who pass through its halls. It gives a stage to the great artists of the times, and nurtures new voices in their first whispers of brilliance.
It’s worth noting that it was New York’s first Jewish community that made New York an open city in 1654, while it was still Dutch New Amsterdam. Like the Statue of Liberty, 92NY carries the flame, and is even part of our own DNA. Toda. Gracias.
Harkness Dance Center
92NY played a role in the development of modern dance and contemporary dance. Legendary pioneers like Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, and Alvin Ailey developed their craft here.
Ailey’s “Blues Suite,” an American classic, was part of his company’s first performance in 1958. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre went on to popularize modern dance around the world as America’s “Cultural Ambassador to the World.”
