“The Young People’s Chorus of New York City headlines this joyous outdoor performance and singalong, kicking off Summer for the City,” Lincoln Center’s three-month summer program, presenting 300+ free performances, a press release announced. “We offer this warm welcome to come together after so much time apart,” said Shanta Thake, chief artistic officer.
“[At the singalong] audiences (aka singers) are encouraged to come together in song as we celebrate unity and the warmer months ahead,” the release continues. “If you’d like to practice your vocals in advance, the song list includes “This Little Light of Mine,” “Your Song,” “The Barber of Seville,” “La Sopa De Isabel,” “Love Train,” a surprise NYC medley of fan favorites, and many more.”

“Start spreadin’ the news / I’m leaving today….” because yer song list does NOT include the Sinatra / Minnelli classic “New York, New York”
Sheesh, wot’s da matter wit’ youse organizers anyway, huh !!!!
Nonsense! They DID play” New York, New York”.
It was the final song. Next time stay until the end before criticizing.
It was a joyous event. People singing and dancing on the plaza; a fabulous band; onlookers from the balcony of the Metropolitan Opera House during intermission joining the fray. Happy happy happy. Thank you, Lincoln Center!
Wow.
This is why I ❤️ NY!
