Bargemusic offers a unique chance to see free classical music performances aboard a converted 1899 coffee barge docked at Brooklyn's Fulton Ferry Landing, located along the East River near the Brooklyn Bridge. The organization was founded in 1977 by Olga Bloom and presents more than 200 classical performances each year, conducted by Mark Peskanov. Concerts are presented aboard the barge's floating concert hall, which can hold up to 140 attendees per show. Free concerts include the Music in Motion Series, which engages audiences in a question-and-answer session with musicians following performances. Visitors should note that food and drink are not permitted aboard the barge and that public restrooms are offered nearby in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
