The Brooklyn Academy of Music’s 2021 season will feature a mix of outdoor performances and public art — including concerts played to individual audience members — as well as lectures and music delivered virtually, the organization announced on Thursday.

While considerably scaled back from the Academy’s usual programming, the season will expand its footprint throughout Brooklyn. And it is one more addition to the growing slate of live arts events that are scheduled to gradually roll out across New York more than a year after the city was shut down by the coronavirus pandemic.

In a news release, Academy officials said a large-scale public art installation, “Arrivals + Departures,” would grace the front of Brooklyn Borough Hall beginning Sunday.

“Influences,” contemporary dance performed on ice skates, will come to the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park in April, and some of New York’s notable musicians will bring intimate “1:1 CONCERTS,” curated by Silkroad, to the Brooklyn Navy Yard starting in May. There will also be a Pop-Up Magazine event on the sidewalks of Fort Greene in June.

Later in the summer, Aleshea Harris’s play “What to Send Up When It Goes Down” will be presented at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, in coordination with Playwrights Horizons. Initially presented by the Movement Theater Company, the play — which Harris has described as a ritual, a dance party and “a space in the theater that is unrepentantly for and about Black people” — had an acclaimed Off Broadway run in 2018.

Live virtual events will include “Word. Sound. Power.” — a hip-hop and spoken word concert — in April and “DanceAfrica,” an African and African-diasporic dance festival, in May. Virtual literary talks will also take place throughout the spring and summer.

“We’ve put together a season that transforms some of Brooklyn’s most beloved and distinctive sites into stunning stages,” David Binder, BAM’s artistic director, said in a statement. The artists programmed, he added, “have met the moment and are presenting work in surprising and thrilling ways.”

The BAM announcement comes as live performances are inching their way back onto city stages, including those newly fashioned to offer safety to performers and audience members.

Last month, the Javits Center held the first of a series of “NY PopsUp” concerts that are a part of a broader public-private partnership to reinvigorate arts in the state. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio has called for a city Open Culture program, which will permit outdoor performances on designated city streets this spring.

Lincoln Center has also announced a broad initiative, known as “Restart Stages,” that will feature performances at 10 outdoor performance and rehearsal spaces starting in April. And last week, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said plays, concerts and other performances would be allowed to resume in New York as soon as next month, with capacity limits.
