Ravel’s Bolero: 1 cello, 4 guys, lots of awesome.

This day in Lincoln Center history…
Happy birthday, Lincoln Center!
On May 14, 1959, the official groundbreaking for Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts took place. The photo above is from the official ceremony, which included President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and a performance by the New York Philharmonic with Leonard Bernstein of Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man.
