Lincoln Center will present about 60 performances from September through late February, including the U.S. premiere of Les Arts Florissants’ new staging of Purcell’s “The Fairy Queen” and Turtle Island Quartet’s “Island Prayers.”
“The Fairy Queen” production, directed by Mourad, opens on Aug. 19 at William Christie’s Festival Dans les Jardins in Thiré, France, and will be presented on Nov. 2 at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center said Thursday.
“Island Prayers” includes compositions by Terence Blanchard, David Balakrishnan, Rhiannon Giddens and Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate, and it will have its world premiere on Oct. 6 at Seattle’s Meany Center. The New York performance, at Tully Hall on Oct. 27, is part of “See Me As I Am,” Lincoln Center’s year-long celebration of Blanchard, the celebrated musician and composer.
