About GatherNYC
GatherNYC is a revolutionary Sunday morning concert experience.
Held on Sunday mornings in Manhattan, GatherNYC evokes the community and spiritual nourishment of a religious service, but the religion here is music, and all are welcome.
Guests are served exquisite live classical music by New York's most celebrated artists, artisanal coffee and pastries, a taste of the spoken word, and a brief celebration of silence. The entire experience lasts one hour.
In these unsettling times, GatherNYC provides a place to fortify beauty and peace.
