SUMMARY:Lincoln Center Presents- San Juan Hill: Manhattan's Lost Neighborhood
DESCRIPTION:San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood is an hour-long documentary directed by Emmy Award winner Stanley Nelson\, preeminent documentarian of the African American experience. In the first half of the twentieth century\, the area where Lincoln Center now stands was known as San Juan Hill. Predating the golden age of the Harlem Renaissance\, musical phenomena like Bebop and the Charleston bloomed in this cultural mecca. Home to a largely working-class community\, San Juan Hill was redlined in the 1930s and targeted by “urban renewal” in the 1940s and 1950s\, displacing thousands of residents. Their stories of home\, belonging\, and resilience have gone untold until now. Through never-before-accessed historical footage\, expert commentary\, first-person storytelling with former residents\, and narration by Academy Award-winning actress Ariana DeBose (West Side Story)\, San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood celebrates the people\, arts\, and culture whose enduring legacy resonates today. \nThis film was commissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and presented in association with Film at Lincoln Center. This film is made possible by support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. \nPanel Participants \nModerator\nLoren Schoenberg\, Founding Director and Senior Scholar\, National Jazz Museum in Harlem \nPanelists\nAaron Flagg\, Chair and Associate Director of Juilliard Jazz Studies\, The Juilliard School\nFredara Hadley\, Professor of Ethnomusicology\, The Juilliard School\nDr. Vanessa K. Valdés\, Writer and Independent Scholar\, African Diasporic Studies

SUMMARY:Lincoln Center Presents- San Juan Hill: A New York Story by Etienne Charles
DESCRIPTION:Created by composer Etienne Charles\, San Juan Hill: A New York Story is an immersive multimedia creation that celebrates a vital chapter of New York’s past. Through music\, visuals\, and first-person accounts\, this powerful work shines a light on the historic communities of the area where Lincoln Center stands today. Blending diverse musical styles—including ragtime\, jazz\, stride piano\, swing\, blues\, mambo\, paseo\, Antillean waltz\, calypso\, funk\, disco\, and Hip-Hop—with historical film and compelling narratives\, the work showcases the myriad cultures that migrants brought to New York from the American South and the Caribbean. Featuring Etienne Charles & Creole Soul\, Frost Symphony Orchestra and special guests\, this piece is a testament to the enduring spirit and forgotten stories of a community that helped shape the city’s cultural landscape. \nCommissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts \nNote: The 2022 premiere of this work was co-presented by Lincoln Center and the New York Philharmonic\, performed by Etienne Charles & Creole Soul and the New York Philharmonic\, and created in collaboration with a range of artists and academics\, including Carl Hancock Rux\, Elena Pinderhughes\, DJ Logic\, playwright Eljon Wardally\, video artist Maya Cozier\, graffiti/visual artist Wicked GF (Gary Fritz)\, visual artist Bayete Ross Smith\, and historian Julia Foulkes\, among others.
