On Wednesday night, Spike Lee and the rest of New York's creative set descended upon the Brooklyn Academy of Music to celebrate the storied institution.
Vanity Fair
shortly before taking the stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music 2023 Gala. That the renowned filmmaker and ultimate Knicks fan found himself inside BAM’s Howard Gilman Opera House Wednesday night, as opposed to courtside at Madison Square Garden as his team took on the Miami Heat, speaks volumes of the institution’s importance within the creative community as well as the significance of the recognition.
Were it not for the special recognition, this could have easily been a typical Wednesday night for Byrne, who lives in New York, has performed at BAM numerous times, and is a frequent guest. “It’s part of my world,” he said backstage before dinner. “I’m going to see some Belgium dance thing on Friday night.” Of all the performances Byrne has seen at BAM, one in particular, he shared, stands out. “I have a memory that I think a lot of people won’t believe,” he said.
