The Met’s esteemed series of concerts and lectures is currently celebrating its 50th year as New York’s oldest continuously offered major concert series of its kind. Audiences can see an average of 200 events during the season: a stellar collection of performers and artists against the museum’s most dramatic backdrops. In addition, WQXR, the country’s most popular classical music station, continues its long-standing partnership with the Met in a series of live Sunday afternoon performances.
Elsewhere, the museum’s Multicultural Audience Development Initiative is fulfilling its mission to reach out to all the diverse communities of the tristate area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut), thereby increasing awareness of the museum’s collections and programs, as well as participation in its activities. In recognition of its achievements, the Initiative has received a number of awards, including the National Black MBA Association’s Award for Cultural Achievement.
