Summer 2006 BARGE MUSIC

FULTON FERRY LANDING, BROOKLYN

It doesn't take long to hear what makes Bargemusic the perfect chamber music hall ... In 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. " - Bernard Holland, The New York Times June 25, 2005

Dear Friends, You are now twenty-seven thousand strong and getting stronger. Twenty-nine years ago Bargemusic arrived in Brooklyn not with a royal invitation to residency in a castle but as a peaceful invasion to establish cultural residency for all. We demonstrate the search for truth which is found in the joyous discipline of the arts. We are in service to the borough of Brooklyn like a tree in front of your house all year long. In this floating concert hall legendary performers join with newly arrived contest winners in humble yet heroic search for profound expression. Your presence provides intensified zeal for the greater good. In this era of dispute and cruel uncertainty beauty makes life bearable. In the belief that all thoughts, feelings and actions are recorded in eternity as vibrant resonance, may your name and ours appear in the companionship of eternal record. Love,
