BAM, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, is Brooklyn’s main performing arts center. It presents art, dance, film, music, and theater.
Reflecting Brooklyn’s neighborhood cool, this is a great place for African Diaspora and Jewish culture. The programming tends to be much more contemporary than what you might find in Manhattan.
The future is here.
The Dance Africa festival is an NYC Memorial Day Weekend tradition.

About the Brooklyn Academy of Music
The Brooklyn Academy of Music opened in 1861, before Brooklyn was part of New York City. BAM was conceived as the home of the Philharmonic Society of Brooklyn.
After the original building burned down, the current BAM campus opened in 1908.
