About Bargemusic

Moored in Brooklyn just under the Brooklyn Bridge, Bargemusic presents great music year-round. 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."
