Public Forum Duet: Gustavo Dudamel & Lin-Manuel Miranda
September 23, 2026
Venue The Delacorte Theater
As New York City welcomes Gustavo Dudamel, the incoming Tang Music & Artistic Director of the New York Philharmonic, he joins Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of HAMILTON and all-around New-York favorite son, for an onstage conversation about music and life—especially music and life in New York. This free one-night-only event at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park, which will include live musical performances, marks the return of Public Forum Duets, a conversation series that brings together icons of music and theater.
