A comprehensive history of the creation and growth of Lincoln
Center, exploring the interconnections between politicians,
financiers, and performing artists "Masterful. . . . A powerful
work of nonfiction with the drama of a novel."-Jaap van Zweden,
Wall Street Journal In this comprehensive history of Lincoln Center
for the Performing Arts, longtime Juilliard president Joseph Polisi
guides us through the complex convergence of the worlds of
politics, finance, and the performing arts throughout the years of
the Center's history, including the roles played by Robert Moses,
John D. Rockefeller 3rd, Leonard Bernstein, William Schuman, Elia
Kazan, Joseph Papp, Alice Tully, Beverly Sills, and many others.
Polisi explores the social and political environment during the
Center's history, reflecting the growth and evolution of the
performing arts in America from its post-World War II roots to the
present day of global interaction. The history of the birth and
growth of this unique institution is a story of determination,
economic acumen, political machinations, artistic innovations, and
above all the strong belief that the arts are at the center of the
fabric of American society and that they should be supported and
embraced by all citizens.
