Web Resource Serves Critical Space Needs of NYC Musicians

August 1, 2003

NYC MUSIC PLACES, www.nycmusicplaces.org:

enables musicians — instrumentalists and vocalists, from soloists to symphony orchestras, rock bands to jazz quartets — to find rehearsal and performance spaces throughout New York City's five boroughs.
lists hundreds of spaces as varied as the music community in New York City.
is free, easy to use and saves musicians valuable time and money.

The NYC Music Places website asks users for basic criteria, such as rental rate parameters, number of musicians, desired neighborhood, audience capacity, etc. Once these criteria are entered, a list of "matches" appears. Details include whether the spaces have music stands, chairs, percussion equipment, a piano and secure storage.

NYC Music Places provides contact information for all facilities so that the user may arrange a site visit or check availability of a potential space; the NYC Music Places website does not book the spaces.

Exploring the Metroplolis, the nonprofit sponsor, is the only organization that has as its sole focus resolving the workspace needs of performing artists. The organization is committed to identifying and helping to create spaces for the performing arts through both web and non-web services. More information about these resources is available at www.xtmnyc.org.

We hope you'll explore www.nycmusicplaces.org and share news of this important resource.
