New York City’s floating concert hall
Moored in Brooklyn just under the Brooklyn Bridge, Bargemusic presents
great music up to five days a week, every week of the year. Walk across the gangplank of a renovated coffee barge into a “wonderfully
intimate wood-paneled room with thrilling views of lower Manhattan and excellent
acoustics.” Experience why critics call Bargemusic “the
perfect chamber-music hall” and why artists say it is “unlike
any other place in the world to perform.”
See our Calendar page to buy tickets. See info on how to get to Bargemusic. Read a Mayoral Proclamation in honor of Bargemusic.
