Free Events, Free Things to Do in New York City!  Read More

235 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.

Classical Music | Sonatenabend: Juilliard Students Perform Sonata Masterpieces (In Person AND Online!)


An evening of sonatas showcasing the beauty and balance of the gender. This concert offers expressive interpretations of works from the Classical and Romantic repertoire. The Classical period in clkassical music is a specific era, generally from about 1750 to 1820, characterized by a shift from the complex counterpoint of the Baroque to a lighter, clearer style with more elegant and balanced forms. Key composers include Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven (whose early works fall within this period). During this time, the symphony, string quartet, and piano emerged as dominant forms, and the orchestra grew in size, leading to new possibilities in texture and dynamics. Romantic-era of classical music (roughly 1800-1910) is known for its emphasis on emotional expression, individualism, and drama, diverging from the structured rules of the Classical period. Key composers include Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Brahms, while iconic works like Chopin's "Nocturnes," Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake," and Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" epitomize the era's passionate and expansive style. Note: Please arrive 30-60 minutes in advance of your performance to sign in to the Juilliard building and receive your visitor badge. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Concert | Orquesta Broadway Performs Latin Dance Tunes: Mambo, Pachanga, Salsa, & More (In Person AND Online!)


Latin band Orquesta Broadway performs a medley of dance music for the audience to enjoy. Formed in NYC in 1962, Orquesta Broadway emerged as one of the most important and enduring charanga ensembles in the U.S. At a time when Latin music was flourishing in the city, the group distinguished itself with the elegance, swing, and Cuban-rooted authenticity of its charanga format. Inspired by traditional Cuban charanga orchestras, founders Eddy and Rudy sought to preserve the spirit of danzon, cha-cha-cha, and pachanga while adapting them to the vibrant energy of New York's Latin music scene. The band quickly became a staple of the city's Latin dance circuit, performing in clubs like the Palladium and in dancehalls where mambo, pachanga, and Latin jazz were in high demand. For more than five decades, Orquesta Broadway has toured internationally, bringing charanga to Europe, Latin America, and beyond. Today, Orquesta Broadway stands as a living legacy of Cuban dance music in New York. The band continues to embody the vitality of charanga music and its unique place in Latin music history. There are three ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon. 3. The event will also be streamed live for free at the link provided.
