BAM
BAM — the Brooklyn Academy of Music — programmes theatre, dance, opera, music and repertory cinema across four Fort Greene venues, and its fall centrepiece is the Next Wave festival. The 2026 edition foregrounds artists from Africa and the African diaspora, and includes a 50th-anniversary staging of Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach.
