The Bloomingdale School of Music is Just One Go-To Source for Nearby Concerts

Picture
by Caitlin Hawke

Yes, it's a neighborhood institution especially if you are looking for lessons, but did you know that the Bloomingdale School of Music also has a nonstop series of concerts, most of which are free, that are just waiting for you?  The concert schedule is here and some of BSM's November offerings are below.

In fact, there are lots of musical options nearby.  Columbia's Miller Theatre has free pop-up concerts such as one on November 21st by Regional de NY, a Brazilian choro band.

St. Michael's Episcopal Church at 225 W. 99th Street offers choral, organ and piano concerts as well as the occasional opera (not to mention an interesting film series). There's a concert on November 26th, but it isn't free!

And don't forget Vita and Ishmael Wallace's Orfeo Duo!  Their local concerts are here.

And finally, keep an eye out for Julia Spring's "Meet Your Talented Neighbors" column in the Block Association newsletter.  Often, it features other musicians and their upcoming gigs, though not necessarily right nearby.

Obviously, there's much more if you dig. I've written about Bloomingdale's musical roots before...they run deep.

Enjoy!
