Bargemusic, a chamber music concert hall that has been a fixture on the Brooklyn waterfront for 50 years, is transitioning to a temporary land-based venue at Brooklyn Bridge Park's Boathouse. After the beloved barge was towed away, director Mark Peskanov expressed optimism about the new location, highlighting its acoustic qualities and scenic views. All concerts will be free to the public, emphasizing the organization's commitment to community service. The new venue is expected to facilitate a long-term partnership, enhancing Brooklyn's cultural offerings for years to come.
The ultimate mission of Bargemusic is to serve the community, he said. And so we decided in this new phase, moving onto land at the Boathouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park, that all of our concerts will be admission-free.
It's a little bit quieter. It almost reminds me of the old days on the Barge. Do you remember when it was really quiet? It's more of that kind of peaceful feeling up here.
The park has been wonderfully helpful, he said. And the acoustics beautiful! The view reminds him of the view from the Barge.
In this new phase, moving onto land at the Boathouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park, all of our concerts will be admission-free. We hope this partnership goes on for the next 50 years.
