"Much like New York City, Downtown Los Angeles has become a preeminent destination to experience an array of free cultural events year-round. In no small way, Brookfield Office Properties has had an influence. The company’s commitment to the arts through its Arts Brookfield has made world-class talent free and accessible to Angelenos of all cultures and ages since 2008. This summer (2013), Arts Brookfield will introduce the inaugural FIGat7th Downtown Festival, a collection of free summer events that celebrates creativity through music, dance, visual art, theater and film."

New Amsterdam Presents is an artists’ service organization that supports the public’s engagement with new music by composers and performers whose work grows from the fertile ground between genres. New Amsterdam places this music in the public eye through the presentation of festivals, series, tours, and other live events that bring together artists who embody this spirit of openness, grounded in musical traditions of depth and substance, forging new ties between formerly disparate musical languages and approaches to music-making. New Amsterdam Presents also continues to hold New Amsterdam Records as a fully-taxable subsidiary organization, offering new recordings of new classical and jazz works by artists whose individual voices bring together different musical influences from across the spectrum.
