American Songbook: Echoes of an Inheritance
March 18–May 23, 2026
For more than 25 years, Lincoln Center's American Songbook has provided artists with the opportunity to reimagine the foundational music and theater that originally brought them to the stage. The 2026 season of Songbook, curated by Lincoln Center Artist-in-Residence Clint Ramos, opens up the cupboard of American musical history and finds it beautifully, excitingly full. Through vivid productions of intimate performances, powerhouse concerts, and electrifying, genre-crossing events, we celebrate the unique art forms that our country has produced: the jazz ballad, the Broadway showtune, gospel spirituals, house music, and pop hits. Ramos's expansive curation reveals an American identity built from many voices and many histories. Come and explore a new dimension of American music!

Triple-threat actor, singer and dancer Ariana DeBose is a Tony Award nominee for her lead performance in the Broadway hit Summer: The Donna Summer Musical and a recent Oscar, BAFTA, and SAG Award winner in the role of Anita in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. For an encore, DeBose debuts Authenticity, an original solo concert created with her longtime Musical Director Benjamin Rauhala, at New York City's newest iconic cultural center, the reimagined David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center. With a setlist that showcases her love for a diverse array of influences—including Dionne Warwick, Stephen Sondheim, Judy Garland, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ray Charles, and ABBA—Authenticity is a reflection of DeBose’s musical loves, presented with her signature masterful flair for mashups, medleys, and candid storytelling.
