About Bargemusic
Moored in Brooklyn just under the Brooklyn Bridge, Bargemusic presents great music year-round. Walk across the gangplank of a renovated coffee barge into a “wonderfully intimate wood-paneled room with thrilling views of lower Manhattan and excellent acoustics.” Experience why critics call Bargemusic “the perfect chamber-music hall” and why artists say it is “unlike any other place in the world to perform.”

Jerome "Jerry" Kuderna studied at the San Francisco and New England Conservatories, where his principal teachers were Robert Helps and Rudolf Kolisch, and at Juilliard with Adele Marcus. He holds a Ph.D. from New York University, where he worked with Eugene List. He has taught at the University of Louisville and at Princeton, where he performed new works by Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter and Roger Sessions under the auspices of the Group for Contemporary Music, among others. He wrote his dissertation on the piano works of Milton Babbitt and recorded Babbitt's Phonemena for the New World Records historic anthology of American Music series. Mr. Kuderna has performed numerous concertos for piano and electronic sound, including the American premiere of Philippe Manoury's Pluton, a work in which the electronic MIDI-generated sounds respond to the piano in real time.
