Why this advertisement for BAM? Why not Lincoln Center or the 92nd Street Y or any number of other cultural organizations? They're a worthy organization and all but it seems a little random...
One cannot overstate the importance of BAM, and in particular the work of your two guests on the Next Wave Festival in defining New York’s cultural landscape.
The vast majority of the most exiting and inspiring performances I’ve experienced over last twenty-five years (in any venue in any city) have been at BAM.
The guest indicated the basic fact that New York City, is not about any one thing but celebrating the wonderful diversity of this great city, Leonard does not have this perspective unless you mean diversity as a Eurocentric perspective!!
