Free Events, Free Things to Do in New York City! Read More
169 free concerts take place New York City right now! In addition, Club Free Time members get free tickets to the concerts which are not free for general public, but are free for our members: when a producer wants that special buzz of the 'full house' at a concert - Club Free Time members are welcomed for their enthusiasm and sophistication! All they have to do is to login to www.clubfreetime.com and make a reservation.
As for the plethora of free concerts which take place in NYC year round, on weekdays and weekends, during lunch time, late afternoons and various evening hours: many people think that free concerts take place in NYC only during Summer, but nothing can be further from the truth.
Here are the numbers so you could see for yourself: about 1000 free concerts take place in NYC from mid-September to the end of May; and about 600 free concerts take place during the three Summer months (that 600 number excludes June's Make Music New York as on that single day more than 400 free concerts take place in NYC to celebrate Solstice).
As the number of free concerts per a summer month almost doubles the number of free concerts per month during other three seasons, you sure hear more about Summer free concerts.
In addition, Summer free concerts get more publicity, as such major popular concert series as New York Philharmoinic in the Parks, Metropolitan Opera Recital Series, Summer Stage and Celebrate Brooklyn all take place during summer months.
In addition, it's of course lots of fun to spend your lunch or your evening listening to the music you love and to picnic along, but your soul needs those nourishing sounds during other seasons as well. So keep in mind that in New York City you can attend a free concert practically any day of the year, except maybe such major Hollidays as July 4th, Thanksgiving and the Christmas Day.
So please keep in mind that whether it's a weekday or a weekend, a holiday or just a regular day or a weekday night, you can alwasy count on Club Free Time when you want to listen to your favorite music, free of carge.

Jazz | 'Rising Star Vibraphonist' Joins Ensemble for Sunday Afternoon Jazz
"The jazz world can get stuck in a battle between the head and the heart, but rarely do you find an improviser like Patricia Brennan [whose] music seems to exist in a realm outside the body, but stays loaded with feeling." - Giovanni Russonello, The New York Times This jazz concert features Patricia Brennan, alongside Columbia University Jazz Ensembles. Mexican born vibraphonist, marimbist, improviser and composer Patricia Brennan "has been widely feted as one of the instrument's newer leaders," observed The New York City Jazz Record. She's won the rising star vibraphonist award from Downbeat magazine's 70th (2022) and 72nd (2024) Critics Poll and was listed #4 vibraphonist of the year on the 71st (2023) & 72nd (2024) Critics Poll.

Concert | American Premiere of Genre-Bending Album: Escalator Over the Hill (1971) with Orchestra and Vocal Ensemble (In Person AND Online!)
This event is a special presentation of a rarely seen, iconic work. The New School Studio Orchestra & Vocal Ensemble presents the U.S. premiere performance of Carla Bley's landmark 1971 album, Escalator Over the Hill. Released in 1971, this album announced itself as a "Chronotransduction" -- an invented term meaning, roughly, "a transference of time" -- but was otherwise thought of as a jazz opera, in the vein of rock operas like Tommy or Jesus Christ Superstar. Except the music on Escalator Over the Hill goes well beyond the usual boundaries of genre. In addition to bracing bursts of free jazz, there are cabaret songs, snatches of country music, deep dives into jazz fusion, an excursion into Hindustani pop, elements of ambient music and nods to New York minimalism. Not to mention a fair amount of stuff that simply falls under none of the above." -TIDAL Magazine Program Carla Bley (1936-2023) Escalator Over the Hill Space is limited.

Bley, who passed away in 2023, composed the album with poet Paul Haines and a roster of legendary collaborators including Jack Bruce, Don Cherry, and Gato Barbieri. This performance offers a rare opportunity to experience the work live, decades after its release.

Concert | Grammy Award-Winning Duo & The New Cuban Masters Perform Music of the Latin American Songbook and the Bolero
Jazz luminaries Miguel Zenon, saxophone, and Luis Perdomo, piano, present sublime interpretations of the Latin American Songbook and of the Bolero in particular as a genre. Drawing from their celebrated albums, El Arte Del Bolero, Vol 1 and El Arte Del Bolero, Vol 2 (the latter earning the pair a GRAMMY in 2024), they honor the vastness and diversity of the Latin American Songbook, highlighting songs they believe deserve to be explored and recognized. The evening concludes with a commissioned work, Cuban Requiem, by Latin Grammy nominated trumpeter and composer Kali Rodriguez-Pena, performed by The New Cuban Masters, his newest project composed by some of the new stars of New York's Cuban music scene. Based in a wide array of music styles that range from traditional and modern Cuban genres, jazz, and European classical music, the work reflects on the last 65 years of Cuban history, culture, and society. Miguel Zenon, who has been an influence to Kali in writing this piece, will perform in two of its movements.

Concert | Armenian Music Then & Now: Folk Tunes & Brand New Works
A kaleidoscope of Armenian folk music through both a historical and modern interactive lens, Komitas and Friends celebrates the interdisciplinary, ever-changing legacy of folk songs deeply rooted in Armenian culture even today. This program is derived from music notated and transcribed by Komitas Vardapet, a pioneering ethnomusicologist, composer, and priest who gathered thousands of folk songs at the turn of the 20th century, immortalizing folk tunes for generations to come. A wide array of songs present themselves in their original form for voice, as well as in classical and jazz transcriptions that have kept these melodies alive throughout the last 100 years, interspersing them in various genres and musical spaces all over the world. This program also includes the world premieres of five brand-new works of music commissioned by The Juilliard School and The Columbia University Armenian Center—the result of a cultural exchange project led by Juilliard student Anoush Pogossian for five of her Juilliard peers to write pieces for her to perform, each one based on a different one of the folk songs of her upbringing as a member of the Armenian diaspora.

Concert | Mambo Legends Orchestra Celebrates the Music Legacy of San Juan Hill (In Person AND Online!)
Enlivening dance halls and stages across the neighborhood, music and dance were a part of everyday life in San Juan Hill from the early 1900s when vaudeville, ragtime, James Reese Europe and the Castles, and the Charleston whirled through the area. As the neighborhood's Puerto Rican population grew significantly in the 1940s and '50s, Latin music and dance styles took root. Jazz ensembles, Latin music bands and Mambo Nights were featured in and around San Juan Hill at venues like the Lincoln Square Center and the St. Nicholas Arena, as well as the nearby Palladium Ballroom. This event celebrates the storied history of Latin music and dance in this area. Featuring live music by the Mambo Legends Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to keeping the sounds of the Mambo tradition and the great Afro-Cuban bandleaders Machito, Tito Puente, and Tito Rodriguez alive and thriving. Comprised of several former members of these renowned bands of the 1950s and '60s, the Mambo Legends Orchestra bridges past to present, celebrating an era of music in mid-20th century New York City when big band popular music fused with the rhythms and sounds of music from Africa, Cuba, and Puerto Rico to create a musical genre that's beloved worldwide.

This program will contrast Galilei's music with the characteristically Italian style of his contemporary Alessandro Piccinini, and the French music of Robert Ballard.Differences between Italian and French styles were endlessly discussed throughout the 17th century, but few attempts were made to combine features of both styles before the early 18th century, with Michelangelo Galilei's music was an exception.

Concert | Voices of a People’s History: Performance Based on Howard Zinn's Books
The works of Brooklyn-born author and historian Howard Zinn (1922–2010), particularly the classic bestsellers A People's History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States, continue to shine a light on the extraordinary history of those engaged in struggles for freedom and justice in America. Voices of a People's History, a non-profit organization of artists and educators who seek to keep Zinn's message of grassroots egalitarianism alive. The heroic voices featured in Zinn's books will be brought to life in performance by a chorus of young student activists who have been mentored by artist-activists to find personal meaning in these timeless texts. Using the words of the rebels, dissenters, and visionaries of our past and present as a blueprint, this evening will inspire us all to take collective action to shape our future.
