Spring 2006 BARGE MUSIC FULTON FERRY LANDING, BROOKLYN
It doesn't take long to hear what makes Bargemusic the perfect chamber music hall ... ~n a standard hall, even a comparatively small one like Alice Tully or Merkin, the sound they produced would have been not just quiet, but distant as well. In the intimate confines of Bargemusic, though, this restrained passage sacrificed nothing in presence or fine-grained detail. Allan Kozinn - The New York Times
52 WEEKS A YEAR WWW.BARGEMUSIC.ORG THURSDAY, FRIDAY, 718 624-2083, 718 624-4061 SATURDAY AND [email protected] SUNDAY ••To understand the universality of music, try swaying in the wakes of passing sightseeing boats while listening to Liszt's music. .. played on a piano framed against the night skyline of Lower Manhattan. Moored beneath the Brooklyn Bridge and floating in the East River, Bargemusic, its loyal followers and its beautiful if improbable setting soldier on.

Dear Friends, This year, with caring foresight, our Board of Directors formally installed Mark Peskanov as President and Artistic Director of Bargemusic. We are the first and only year-round, floating concert hall in history and consequently, we are con• stantly challenged by situations requiring courage and impeccable standards. Merciful fate brought us Mark Peskanov, who joyfully still continues his solo career in many countries. He readily recognizes and engages world competition gladiators. Their individual strength in concerted effort gives a compelling interpretation of chamber music. Our audiences accept revelation and healing in the ineffable soar of music away from pedestrian push and pull of survival. Rejoice with us. From your grateful octogenarian founder,
P.S. Mark Peskanov balances the budget with the same phenomenal agility that he brings to playing a Paganini Caprice.
