Bargemusic gives new meaning to the term “swing”--as this unique jazz venue housed in a former coffee barge anchored in the Hudson River, a stone’s throw from the majestic arches of the Brooklyn Bridge, sways with the tides. This atmospheric music hall is located on the Brooklyn side of the Great Bridge’s classic span immortalized by the poet Walt Whitman and later by filmmaker Ken Burns with views of the iconic Manhattan skyline seen from aboard that are extraordinary.

But the most essential thing is the music, interaction between players, their muse and audience and the quality of that interplay is as appealing as this cozy but undeniably magnificent setting. Founded by passionate music lover and accomplished concert violinist Olga Bloom, Bargemusic has been satisfying the appetites of classical listeners for 30 years and counting.
