For the last five years, one of the most intriguing parts of the fall music calendar has been Lincoln Center's White Light Festival. The wide-ranging month-long event mixes contemporary and classical music with dance performances and choral works, incorporating sounds from NYC and around the world to explore the spiritual properties of music and art. This year's event, which kicks off October 16, features 41 performances in 10 venues, with a focus on the music and art of South India curated by choreographer Mark Morris. Dig into the full schedule below.
