193 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.

Concert | Environmental Sound Artist Performs with Jazz Musician
Mary Edwards is a composer and sound artist whose interdisciplinary practice encompasses themes of temporality, impermanence, nostalgia and the natural world that recur throughout her work. Everywhere We Are is the Farthest Place is her "ode rather than an elegy" to the transforming Arctic landscape, climate vulnerability, elemental sensuality and terrestrial connectivity that also draws partly on sound as a vibrational phenomenon and Space Analogues. Edwards began this project while sailing on an artist and scientist research expedition above the 78th Parallel to Svalbard (halfway between Norway and the North Pole) to make field recordings and listen to the rhythm and breath of our planet from another pulse point. She documented sound properties of glacial geology and oceanographic data sonification--distinct groans and reverberant calving ice tumbling from the sublime glacier walls into the depths of fjords, the movement of subterranean rivers, Beluga whale song and vocal intonations--intended to provide sonic access for all by "de-centralizing the centered and un-othering the others." Mary Edwards (keyboards, Waterphone, electronics) will install and perform the piece with Michael Eaton (saxophone, flute, electronics,) a Brooklyn-based composer, and educator active in contemporary jazz and free improvisation.

Concert | Old and New Approaches to Son Cubano, Jazz, Rhumba, R&B, and Funk
Bandleader Gonzalo Grau and his Grammy-nominated multi-piece combo La Clave Secreta originated as an extended family of Berklee College of Music students whose passion inspired aspirations of joyous explorations into fusion. In describing the group's modus operandi, Grau cites influences from old and new approaches to son cubano, jazz, rhumba, R&B, and funk. La Clave Secreta embraces its own style, where timba and salsa, vintage and novelty, the classics and the originals merge into one powerful, undeniably fun sound. Grau and the band commemorates their Lincoln Center debut with a danceable evening of songs from their sophomore LP, 2023's De Verdad Verdad, an album that Sound in Review calls "a musical journey that plays like a hybrid symphony... from Cuba to New York, from flamenco to Hip-Hop."

Concert | Harp Concert at the Museum
Wander the museum while listening to the beautiful sounds of Jose Luis on the harp. Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails. Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Concert | Chamber Music and Conversation
Before his untimely passing, Talib Rasul Hakim (1940-88) was already becoming a widely influential composer, one who suffused his music for chamber and orchestral forces with intense deliberation, considered improvisations, dynamic rhythmic profiles, and purposeful silences. Hakim saw his compositions as more than just music: he saw music performance as the equivalent to an almost religious awakening. In the 1978 book The Black Composer Speaks, Hakim maintained, “It is hoped that whenever [my] music is performed, both performer and listener will experience some degree of inner stirring, that they will experience some philosophical, religious, political, emotional, intellectual experience.” In this program, ICE and Either/Or present five diverse aspects of Hakim’s artistry that consider music as an encounter with the divine. The program includes performances of Psalm of Akhnaten; ca. 1365-1348 B.C. (1978), an imposing trio work that features a searching articulation of faith, mysticism, and spirituality; Currents (1967), his masterful entry to the string quartet canon; Scope-Seven (1965), an enigmatic solo piano work recently discovered; Four (1965) for quartet; and Music for Nine Players and Soprano Voice (1977), which features the combined forces of ICE and Either/Or performers. Following the performance, a panel discussion featuring three MacArthur “genius” composers—Courtney Bryan, Tyshawn Sorey, and George Lewis—will discuss the history and ongoing impact of Hakim’s work. Registration required.

Wander the museum while listening to the beautiful sounds of Jose Luis on the harp. Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails. Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Concert | Innovative Argentinian Musician
Carolina Mama’s debut album, Amina, is a powerful and inspiring expression of womanhood, blending folkloric/jazz elements and cinematography to take listeners on a journey that serves as a witness to women's strength, beauty, and resilience. Innovative Argentinian musician Carolina Mama’s live performances showcase her intimate singing style, masterful storytelling, and outrageous skill at imaginatively interweaving cultural treasures into something that challenges female norms and representation. The project originated during research in Morocco on folkloric music performed only by women, where Carolina discovered the story of Amina El Filali, a 16-year-old girl who took her own life after countless violations. Carolina's origins have also inspired this project as an Argentinian activist within the Ni Una Menos movement. The album is co-produced with Emily Elbert, Jacob Collier and Leon Bridges's guitarist, and the acclaimed Catalan guitarist Lau Noah, with the unique appearance of Munir Hossn.\

Master Class | Celebrated Soprano Luana DeVol (Met Opera, La Scala) Masterclass
American dramatic Soprano Luana DeVol's career spanned over 25 years. She is considered one of the world's most successful dramatic sopranos, having sung major roles in the world's major houses, including La Scala, Milan, Teatro de Liceu, Barcelona, the Wagner Festspiel Bayreuth, Vienna Staatsoper, and the Metropolitan Opera New York. The masterclass is given to advanced students while fellow students and audience observe. The student will typically perform an aria or a song then the master will share advice on how to sing the aria or song. When the masterclass is open to a general audience, the master can give more "general-public-friendly" advice to the singer. The goal is to simultaneously entertain an audience made up of fans of the master and singing aficionados and give the singer nuggets of information that they can take with them.

Concert | Kim Gordon, Founding Member of Sonic Youth
Kim Gordon has been making outsider art in and out of the mainstream since she first arrived in New York City in the 1970s. Her work with the iconic 90s rock band Sonic Youth formed the vanguard of experimental guitar music in the downtown scene and was soon exported around the world, shaping modern rock music in the process. With Sonic Youth in her rearview, the 70-year-old rock matriarch is still kicking ass and taking names, exhibiting visual art and wielding distortion and dissonance to make some of the most exciting sounds at the bleeding edge of rock. She brings her latest LP The Collective to the park. She’s joined by the Sun Ra Arkestra, a group which, after nearly 70 years of cosmic jazz innovation, is as much an institution as it is a band. 99-year-old saxophonist Marshall Allen (who has been with the group since 1958, and bandleader since Sun Ra’s death in 1993) leads more than a dozen musicians through transportive sets that reveal a spirit that has influenced jazz music—and beyond—for multiple generations. They’re joined by Slauson Malone 1, a performance piece created by the artist and musician Jasper Marsalis that explores the possible intersections of popular music and performance art. His latest LP Excelsior explores masculinity with a newfound clarity, interrogating his own lived experiences through songs and movements. Slauson Malone 1 is accompanied by cellist Nicky Wetherell.

Concert | 2 Musical Artists in the Park
Viva Deconcini Viva plays guitar like a flaming sword, a screaming train, a ringing bell, and a scratching chicken. She sings like if Freddy Mercury had been a woman. She is influenced by diverse artists and styles including Jimi Hendrix, Dolly Parton, NYC, disco and jam band music, and has played everywhere from Bonnaroo, the Monterey Jazz Fest and the Sydney Opera House. She has produced sell out music, burlesque and variety shows at The Slipper Room and Joe’s Pub and is one of the few females to be featured in Guitar Player Magazine. People’s Champs People’s Champs combines the hottest dance rhythms from West Africa and South America with New Wave synth tones, crafting them into indie songs with Stevie Wonder-esque lyrics. With their “crazy ass genre mash ups” (Blakbook), People’s Champs’ truly original sound is equal parts Sharon Jones, tUnE-yArDs, Os Mutantes, William Onyeabor and Prince. Critics are calling People’s Champs a “A dance party waiting to happen” (Consequence of Sound) and “…somewhere between Budos Band & the Flaming Lips” (Deli Magazine). The band is comprised of members of The Superpower Horns, studio horn section for Beyoncé Knowles. They arranged the horn lines on two of Beyoncé’s top albums, including the Grammy-winning song “Love on Top.” The Superpower Horns also toured internationally throughout 2016 with Boy George & Culture Club.

He has worked with many of the greats (Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Grant Green, Roy Haynes) and has even been commemorated in mosaic tile in the walls of the 2nd Ave subway. Well into his seventh decade in jazz, Braith is a living legend not to be missed.

Winner of the 2022 Tiny Desk Contest, Amador's recognition has grown exponentially over the past couple of years, and this performance comes just weeks after the release of her debut full-length studio album, Multitudes. The title (an identical word in both English and Spanish) speaks to the range of emotions, experiences, and uncertainties explored by the New England-born artist with roots in Argentina, Puerto Rico, and New Mexico, whose music "commands attention and fosters connection," according to NPR's Bob Boilen.
