Free Concerts in Times Square

 

A wide variety of free performances awaits audiences courtesy of Carnegie Hall Citywide and the local community organizations with which we proudly partner. Experience everything that makes New York City so vibrant as we highlight sounds from across the country and around the globe right here in our neighborhoods.

In September, we present a series of concerts in Times Square. See bassist, composer, and bandleader Michael Olatuja and his Lagos Pepper Soup band on September 9; a cappella sensations T.3 on September 16; and the brilliantly genre-melding “accidental brass quartet” The Westerlies on September 23.

 

 

Lead support for Carnegie Hall Citywide is provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation.
