NEW YORK, United States– Days after New York marked the 22nd anniversary of the September 11 attacks, it opened a new arts center Wednesday in the last area of Ground Zero that had not yet been redeveloped.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul , Ron Perelman , former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and current Mayor Eric Adams hold a ribbon at the Perelman Performing Arts Center opening press event and ribbon cutting ceremony on September 13, 2023 in New York. The performing arts center, built at ground zero in lower Manhattan, is meant to open on September 19, 2023, with the first of five concerts focused on the theme of refuge.
It's the final piece of a project intended for the once-devastated area in Lower Manhattan where reflecting pools indicate an area of memorial, the museum a place of education, and now the arts center for renewal. In the aftermath of the attacks many advocates of building an arts center at the site repeated a line written by the legendary composer Leonard Bernstein, who in the days after John F. Kennedy was assassinated said:"This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before."
"The arts, as we all know, is the heart of what makes New York a beacon of light for people around the world," said Bloomberg at the opening ceremony."And Lower Manhattan has always been a crossroads of the world and a cauldron of creativity."
