The ceremony was followed by a recital—on a piano once owned by Lutoslawski—by pianist Jean Pierre Armengaud.
Witold Lutoslawski was born in 1913. All his work written before World War II was destroyed in the Warsaw uprising of 1944; after the war, he wrote symphonies, concertos, chamber music, and vocal pieces, and began to be more widely played after 1956, when the political climate in Poland changed.
Lutoslawski died in 1994.
Lileana Blain-Cruz directs the new production, opening April 23.
The Cuban-born composer is this season's Debs Composer's Chair.
The cast is led by Bryonha Marie and Nathan Gunn, with Tony winner Ted Sperling at the baton.
The season, opening September 21, will include 58 ballets across 21 weeks of performances.
