A special event will be held Sunday at the pool in the Lincoln Center plaza to mark the International Day of Peace and kick off the U.S. General Assembly. Read the press release below and see the schedule below that:

On Sunday, Sept. 21, the second annual “Shinnyo Lantern Floating for Peace will take place at the Paul Milstein Reflecting Pool at Hearst Plaza, Lincoln Center. Coinciding with the International Day of Peace and the opening of the U.N. General Assembly, this unique occasion will bring together prominent civic, interfaith and community leaders, along with New Yorkers of all ages, to inspire a collective quest for peace with lantern floating, live music and cultural performances at one of the most iconic settings in New York City.

New Yorkers can see (and hear), for free, several wonderful artists perform at the Milstein Pool:

  • Christopher Wheeldon, the renowned choreographer
  • Wendy Whelan, the principal dancer with the New York City Ballet and guest artist with Morphoses/The Wheeldon Company
  • Craig Hall, New York City Ballet
  • Alphonso Horne, a 26-year-old trumpet performer who has performed with renowned jazz musician Marcus Roberts at the Lincoln Center; among others.

During the free day-long, family-friendly event, that is open to the public, participants will have the opportunity to construct a paper lantern and inscribe it with a personal message of peace. Participants can then set the lanterns afloat in the Paul Milstein Reflecting Pool. The Shinnyo Lantern Floating for Peace is meant to inspire a spirit of harmony and compassion that transcends all boundaries of age, gender, nationality, ethnicity, and religious tradition – and empower people to create a stronger force for peace in our families, our communities, and globally. Lanterns will be provided throughout the day on a first-come, first-serve basis.
