with William Leurs, Harvey Lichtenstein and Paul Marks on Feb 15, 1999
Harvey Lichtenstein was the long-time leader of the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
Lichtenstein began working with the then-obscure BAM in 1967. BAM’s goal under Lichtenstein was to make a desirable place for artists and performers outside the downtown area of Manhattan. Thanks to his efforts, the institution blossomed and began to attract big-name clientele.
Retired since 1999, Lichtenstein’s relationship with BAM has steered into the BAM Local Development Office (BLDO), where he can spend some of his golden years concentrating on his ideas for urban expansion in Brooklyn.
