Classical music thrives in New York City, as venues and performance halls are scattered throughout the city.
The Metropolitan Opera, commonly called the MET, is known all over the world! The opera house has hosted the most talented singers, musicians and artists among others for over 125 years!
Located within Lincoln Center, Avery Fisher Hall replaced Carnegie Hall as the home to the Philharmonic Orchestra in 1962. For over 35 years Avery Fisher Hall has hosted some of the greatest musical and non-musical events on its stage!
Since it opened in 1881 Carnegie Hall has hosted the world's greatest talents in music on its historic stage! Three different halls make way for any event from music and recitals to lectures and masters classes. Tours of the Hall are offered to the public on non-performance nights.
It's not of the quality and history of the typical classical music venues, but Joe's Pub brings in great solo talent for intimate shows as well as a stage for up and coming acts. Every night there is a new and exciting live show, with many nights hosting multiple performers.
Bargemusic is just that: live music on a barge! Located underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, five nights a week all year long you can listen to live music!
Brooklyn Academy of Music, or BAM as it is more commonly known, has been an outlet for amazing urban talent since it opened in 1861. The yearly events at BAM include operas, theater and dance performance.
